flyway conservationflyway conservation• shared resource = shared responsibility for their
conservation and sustainable useimproving cooperation among all countries along the flyways
• developing a stronger science baseimproving our understanding of waterbirds migrationproviding better support to decision-making for their conservation
• avoiding antagonistic interventions along the flyways
• harmonising policies and optimising actions on the ground
• sharing resources for the benefit of all partners along the african-eurasian flyways (and beyond):– enhancing professional capacity– mobilising financial resources– training, education and awareness tools
