East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership
Mission statement
The East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) is a network of partners within the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. The EAAFP aims to protect migratory waterbirds, such as the Critically Endangered Baer’s Pochard and Spoon-billed Sandpiper, their habitats and the livelihoods of people dependent on them.
The EAAFP includes National Governments, Inter-Governmental Organisations, International Non-Governmental Organisations and International Private Enterprises within the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, one of the nine major global migratory routes for waterbirds.
The EAAFP provides a flyway wide framework to promote dialogue, cooperation and collaboration between a range of stakeholders in order to conserve the migratory waterbirds that migrate through the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. This includes:
Providing a platform for international cooperation for the conservation of migratory waterbirds and the sustainable use of their wetland habitats
Supporting the development of a Flyway Site Network, to ensure a chain of internationally important wetland sites are recognised and sustainably managed in the future
Supporting a range of activities to increase knowledge and raise awareness of migratory waterbirds, while building capacity for the sustainable management and conservation of migratory waterbird habitats along the flyway
