East Atlantic Flyway Assessment 2023

The assessment report raises concerns about the status of migratory waterbird populations along the East Atlantic Flyway. 42% of monitored populations show long-term increases, 33% are declining. While pressures on wetland habitats are widespread along the flyway, the specific drivers of population declines are often unknown. The report calls for more international collaboration and political commitment to protect migratory birds and prevent further population declines along the flyway.
