EAAFP

The East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP), adopted in the list of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) as a Type II initiative–an informal and voluntary initiative, aims to protect migratory waterbirds, their habitat and the livelihoods of people dependent upon them. The Partnership provides a flyway-wide framework to promote dialogue, cooperation and collaboration between a range of stakeholders, including all levels of governments, site managers, multilateral environmental agreements, technical institutions, UN agencies, development agencies, industrial and private sector, academe, non-governmental organisations, community groups and local people to conserve migratory waterbirds and their habitats, considering both people and biodiversity of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.
