African-Eurasian Flyway
The African-Eurasian Flyway is a major migratory route used by various bird species traveling between their breeding and wintering grounds. This flyway stretches from northern Europe and Asia to sub-Saharan Africa, covering diverse habitats such as wetlands, forests, and grasslands. It supports millions of birds, including species like the white stork and bar-tailed godwit.
Birds rely on this flyway for food and rest during their long migrations. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect the habitats along the route, as many migratory birds face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and hunting. Organizations work to ensure the sustainability of this vital ecological corridor.
