Back to MeetingsConsultation Meeting on the Project “Connectivity Conservation for Habitats of Flagship Migratory Birds in North-East Asia”
North-East Asia hosts critical habitats for several migratory bird species, whose conservation requires coordinated cross-border action. In line with the NEASPEC Nature Conservation Strategy and the designation of six flagship species, the project “Connectivity conservation for habitats of flagship migratory birds in North-East Asia (2024–2027)” focuses on the Black-faced Spoonbill, Hooded Crane, and White-naped Crane, and aims to assess species demographics, analyze threats from agriculture and energy development, and build capacity.
This Consultation Meeting will bring together implementing partners to plan and coordinate project activities under Component 1. The meeting will define the scope and methodology for monitoring across key sites, fostering alignment and data comparability among partners. It will serve as a key platform for collaborative planning and technical exchange, ensuring effective implementation across the subregion.
