In celebration of #WorldEnvironmentDay, WWF Hong Kong have announced successful award of WWF Asian Flyways Initiative (AFI) Grant to two shorebirds sites (Banyuasin Peninsula, South Sumatra and Pantai Cemara, Jambi) in Indonesia and one site in Nepal. The grant supports capacity of #wetland stakeholders in #EAAFlyway and #Central_Asian_Flyway (CAF) with key objective to involve local communities in #conservation work. WWF aims at maintaining integrity of the two flyways to ensure waterbirds migrate between breeding and wintering sites via #network of managed wetlands, in particular to those areas which are important for #species and livelihoods of local communities. đ§Read more articleđhttp://ow.ly/CnOx50A1jnr

This year, #World_Environment_Day focuses on the loss of biodiversity, highlighting the importance of combating the accelerating species decline and the degradation of the natural world. With some 19% of migratory waterbirds in the EAAF threatened with extinction, the AFI Grant can contribute to habitat protection for migratory waterbirds and support the conservation efforts of local people and communities.”
