Flyway - Migratory Path
Flyways, or migratory routes, are crucial for the survival and health of many bird species. They provide established pathways for birds to move between breeding and wintering grounds, often including vital stopover locations with resources like food and rest areas. Understanding and protecting these flyways is essential for coordinated conservation efforts and ensuring the continued survival of migratory bird populations.
Many of the world’s migratory bird species are in decline and they may face many different threats at different points in their annual cycles, so understanding and addressing the drivers of declines requires flyway-scale understanding and action. Habitat loss and degradation can have a significant impact on the ecological networks of areas of suitable habitat migratory birds rely upon throughout their flyways. - Birdlife DataZone
