Migratory waterbirds are an important component of biodiversity that migrate annually\u00a0along predictable flyway routes in the African\/Eurasian landmass. The principal habitats\u00a0that these species require to complete their life cycle are wetlands, many of which are\u00a0being seriously degraded, representing a significant and continuing threat to the\u00a0maintenance of sustainable migratory waterbird populations. A major barrier to effective\u00a0wetland conservation is the lack of technical and management capacity throughout the\u00a0region to manage sites and species at a flyway scale. Therefore the project\u2019s goal is to\u00a0strengthen strategic capacity to plan and manage the conservation of migratory waterbirds\u00a0and the critical sites along their flyways. Strategic and catalytic activities will be undertaken in three main areas; (i) improved access to flyway scale species and site\u00a0information to assist in the protective designation, management and conservation of\u00a0critically important wetlands; (ii) establishment of the basis for the enhancement of\u00a0technical and decision making capacity; and (iii) the enhancement of communications\u00a0capacity for flyway stakeholders at the technical and decision-making level. Key outputs\u00a0that will result from the project are a site network tool to assist in the management of\u00a0critically important wetlands, four sub-regionally focused training and awareness raising\u00a0programmes, eleven demonstrations of site-based best practice management of wetlands\u00a0and an exchange programme for flyway practitioners.<\/p>\n
