East Atlantic Flyway

The East Atlantic Flyway is a major migration route used by millions of birds traveling between their breeding grounds in Europe and Africa. It stretches along the eastern Atlantic coast, from northern Europe to southern Africa, guiding birds through a series of stopover sites where they rest and feed. This flyway is essential for bird survival, supporting their seasonal movements, breeding, and wintering. Conservation of habitats along this route helps ensure these migratory birds can complete their journeys safely, maintaining healthy bird populations and ecological balance across continents.
