Approximately 2,000 bird species are migratory, making annual seasonal movements. Conservation of the flyways is at the heart of BirdLife, and with 21 of our Partners from across the America addressing conservation needs from Canada to Argentina, BirdLife is uniquely positioned to coordinate on-the-ground education and action, and combining it with world-class science and policy expertise. 

This webinar will highlight the importance of addressing conservation of migratory birds through collaborative network of our partners. 

Many migratory waterbirds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway are in steep decline. Shorebirds are among the hardest hit, and species such as the Spoon-billed Sandpiper have declined by nearly 90% within the past two decades. Many more have lost a great deal of their habitat all over our flyway and are on the brink of extinction. But there is still a window of opportunity to take action to save our shorebirds.
