Discussing The East Asian Australasian Flyway Initiative
Published on November 17, 2021
Every year, some 50 million waterbirds of over 200 different species migrate to the opposite end of the earth, travelling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway – one of the world’s eight major bird migration superhighways. Stretching from Siberia and Alaska to Australia and New Zealand, the flyway connects a chain of coastal wetlands spanning 20+ countries, providing vital habitats where shorebirds can stop to feed, rest and refuel before continuing on the next leg of their journey.
On 10 November, we held a panel discussion on our East Asian Australasian Flyway Initiative with Warren Evans of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Carlos Manuel Rodriguez (GEF) and Yoon Lee from the EAAFI. Watch the recording here.
