African-Eurasian Flyways

The African-Eurasian Flyways are major migratory routes used by billions of birds traveling between Africa, Europe, and Asia. These routes span thousands of miles, connecting breeding areas in northern regions with wintering grounds in Africa. They enable birds to access suitable environments for breeding, feeding, and survival across seasons. The flyways follow specific pathways along coastlines, mountain ranges, and wetlands, vital for bird conservation. Protecting these routes is crucial to ensure the health of migratory bird populations, especially as they face threats like habitat loss and climate change.
