The project aimed to educate and sensitize local communities and other stakeholders on migratory waterbirds, their flyways, their importance, benefits and their habitats.

The brochure gives an overview of the results of the flyway monitoring within the Wadden Sea Flyway Initiative.

The report for the Wadden Sea Flyway Initiative project covers a number of project activities carried out in the cross-river area.

The implementation of the conservation project in Dakar was made possible through a collection of clean-up activities, trainings, and waterbird monitoring activities.

The purpose of this Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop was to provide region-wide coaching in order to establish and strengthen a network of experienced trainers in French-speaking countries of West and Central Africa.

The training focused on waterbird counting and identification techniques to help better equip environmental education centers, eco guides, fishermen, students, and teachers on ecological monitoring, bird identification, monitoring techniques and data collection.

This paper studies the breeding and nesting behavior of the Black-winged stilts hooter population and discusses anthropogenic pressures and threats to the bird population.

The 2017 report on the East Atlantic Flyway provides an important assessment of the status and trends of the East Atlantic flyway populations. 

Given the significance of Mussulo Bay for waterbirds, several awareness-raising activities, such as waste collection, were carried out. In the Ilhéu dos Pássaros Integral Nature Reserve, an observatory was built to attract students and volunteers interested in waterbird observations.

Two training workshops on the identification and monitoring of waterbirds took place for the benefit of two local NGOs.

An environmental education and communication center was built in Dapak. This center facilitates environmental education activities and serves as a base for the fishing communities and educational institutions to interact.

The ‘total count’ of the coastal East Atlantic Flyway in January 2017 was carried out in 33 countries of which 11 in Europe and 22 in Africa, and involved about 1,500 observers (1,100 in Europe, 400 in Africa).

The project aimed at building the capacity of the wetland communities on bird monitoring and identification techniques through a series of trainings, bird-watching structures, and the formation of nature clubs.

The project aimed to highlight the multifaceted and multidimensional roles of migratory birds through an awareness-raising tour.
