East Asian-Australasian Flyway and Network Sites

The East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF) is one of nine major migratory waterbird flyways around the globe and is home to over 50 million migratory waterbirds – including shorebirds, ducks, geese, swans, cranes, gulls, and other seabirds – from over 250 different populations.

The East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership is a network of partners within the EAAF. The EAAF Partnership aims to protect migratory waterbirds, their habitat and the livelihoods of people dependent upon them. It is an informal and voluntary initiative and the partners include governments, inter-governmental agencies international non-government organisations and international business sector. The Partnership provides a flyway wide framework to promote dialogue, cooperation and collaboration between a range of stakeholders to conserve migratory waterbirds and their habitats. Stakeholders include all levels of governments, site managers, multilateral environment agreements, technical institutions, UN agencies, development agencies, industrial and private sector, academe, non-government organisations, community groups and local people.

There are currently 900 sites recognised as internationally important to migratory waterbirds along the East Asian-Australasian flyway. 

In Mongolia, 11 sites have been recognised as the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Network Sites.
