East Asia-Australasia Flyway

The East Asia-Australasia Flyway is a major migration route for birds traveling between their breeding grounds in northern Asia and Australia or New Zealand. These birds undertake long seasonal journeys, often crossing countries, seas, and diverse habitats. The flyway includes key stopover sites where birds rest and feed during migration. It supports a rich diversity of waterbirds, including ducks, swans, and flamingos. Protecting this flyway is crucial for maintaining bird populations and biodiversity, especially as many species face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and climate change across their migratory paths.
