Saving migratory birds through flyway-wide cooperation, especially in East Asia - Australasia and Central Asia. Linking ecological, social and institutional connectivity. Promoting international cooperation in coastal ecosystem conservation and restoration
it doesn't take much to wipe out all the gains of decades of hard work. Once there were only 15 individuals left, a big avian influenza outbreak could put us back there in no time :(

Indeed, it does look lovely. What a nice aesthetic!

However, analysis is still often focused simply on coverage under existing protected areas, rather than the effectiveness of protection at and among individual sites.

Nevertheless, this trend can only be encouraging, at a critical time for the survival of migratory waterbirds in the flyway.

Hmmm, not sure about this, higher reports in poultry vs. wild birds surely a result of more testing and reporting on poultry and little attention to wild birds. Whooper Swan and Hooded Crane do not reach SE Asia, a broader set of, particularly, wildfowl, would be more useful.

I understand why bar-tailed godwits fly thousands of kms from Alaska to Australia, there is no where to land! But plenty of nice spots between St Petersburg and Guinea. Would love to know more on the energetics involved ...
