• To share insights on how migrant shorebird populations respond and adapt to changing environments

• Shorebird populations are dynamic, stochastic systems, living in noisy, fluctuating environments – they

rarely reach equilibrium, and they are better understood not in terms of the effect of environmental

conditions on population size, but in terms of the effect of environmental conditions on population

growth rates

• Shorebirds may be more at risk from rising temperatures in the tropics than in the arctic

• Climatic variability, especially temperate seasonality, is of great importance and can reduce shorebird

population growth substantially

• Grey Plovers from Hong Kong appear to be breeding in Western Arctic Russia

• Temperatures affect the population growth rates of shorebirds, but they do not appear to affect the

chance of them coming to Deep Bay and being counted

Status Assessment - Results

Red List criteria involve assessing a population against a number of

thresholds:

• population trend

• size

• extent of geographic range and

• explicit probability of extinction.

19 populations qualify for Near Threatened status or higher (IUCN Red List

criteria)

One additional population (Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata

orientalis) included; although the population trend in the EAAF is unclear, a

current or future decline appears likely.

1. “priority populations”20 populations

2. “most pertinent and pressing issues”key threats to these populations

3. “guide the coordination of international conservation

measures” the “what” and the “how”

4. Engagement of “experienced strategists and technical

specialists”That’s us!

5. “implementation commitment”The biggest challenge!

Dalmatian Pelican event on March 21, 2005

• Xiamen(A) spotted 14 while the day before

Haifeng (B)“lost their Pelicans”

• On September 2005, we started the first

survey on the set dates in 7 sites along the

coast

3

I just have one comment on page 3 -

the story of pelican!! The information is

not correct. It should be that there were

a total of 15 pelicans wintering at Mai

Po in that winter till 15 March. Then I

still saw one at Mai Po on 19 March

2005 and a group of 14 pelicans were

found flying over at Xiamen on 20

March 2005. So, we suspected these

should be the same group of birds and

realise the importance of the

synchronous count (for avoid double-

counting, for 'true' figures of waterbird

abundance along the China coast, etc).

Then we came out a decision to start

the count in September!

4

Behind the Pelican story,

• There were birders who start to focus on waterbirds

• They all attend the training by Mark Batter, who organized the

Yangtze River survey in 2004-2005

Mark Batter, who trained our pioneer

surveyors !

• State-owned companies and some

government bodies are to blame for

many illegal sea reclamation projects, a

senior official from the State Oceanic

Administration has said.

• Sixty-one of the 62 illegal cases last year

were conducted by governments and

port holdings.

• From 2006 to 2007, the illegally

reclaimed sea area reached 189 sq km.

• Minimum number of sites to effectively

conserve all target species during migration

• Focus on critical sites (the broken rungs)

• Build capacity for site management

• Focus partnerships on the key issues,

building constituencies

National Partnerships

• Focal Point for each national partner, often from

Environmental Authority

• Need to create and develop partnership that

provides forum for government, NGOs and civil

society and academic organizations

• Seek ways, nationally and internationally, to

reach appropriate decision-makers at relevant

levels

• Build on existing structures and mechanisms

Raising the Profile of the Ecological Crisis in EAAF

• Identify agents of change and leverage points

• Work at diplomatic and international

cooperation levels

• Understand the culture and minsets of those

whose opinions we are seeking to change

• Build a groundswell of popular support

• Target and tailor messages and approaches

• Tell compelling stories

Session 3: Potential Implementation mechanisms

EAAF Partnership: Shorebird Working Group

What is the Shorebird Working Group?

• One of 4 Species Working groups established by the Partnership (the others being Cranes, Anatidae and Seabirds)

• Purpose:• Repository of expertise and current information on shorebird conservation,

research and monitoring in the Flyway.• Forum for sharing information and identifying issues related to the

understanding and conservation of shorebirds in support of the Partnership strategies.

• Provide technical advice to Partners (and Task Forces) and help to identify gaps.

• Collaborate with other centres of expertise: IWSH, GFN,AEWA, WHSN etc• Membership:

• Each Partner is invited to nominate a representative on this group.• Supplementary network of experts and interested individuals.




Some Background:

� Asia- Pacific Migratory Waterbird Conservation Strategy: 1996 – 2005� 4 Technical Working groups were established, one of which was the Shorebird Working group.

� Following broad consultation with governments and NGO’s two 5 Year Action Plans were prepared. The 2001 – 2005 Plan had a budget of $2 million.� 14 key actions focusing on identifying and managing network sites and

increasing knowledge base of migratory shorebirds.� Engagement of a full time Shorebird Flyway officer� Oversight of implementation by Shorebird Working Group (comprising

government and non-government members).

What might be the Role of the SWG in relation to the proposed Plan for

Prioritisation of Shorebird Conservation?

� It can provide a forum for sharing information, identifying knowledge gaps and facilitating networking and communication.

� At MoP7 it was proposed that the key areas could include:� Conservation� Research� Networking and Communication.

�BUT� The Group has no dedicated resources or funding.� Formal and consultative membership to be widened if an additional role

envisaged.

� It cannot implement the Plan in its own right – it is the Partners that have to implement the Plan.

Let’s review again at the end of our Workshop.

Session 3: Potential Implementation mechanisms

EAAF Partnership: Yellow Sea Taskforce

Chair: Doug Watkins

Established at MoP3.

Tasked with developing a Partner workplan for the Yellow Sea. very little progress.

Representatives identified by the China and RoKorea National Government

Partners have a technical mandate and not policy.

Has not be able to obtain a national Government mandate to develop a workplan

and other National Government Partners have yet to stepped up to facilitate the

development of such a mandate.

The Yellow Sea Taskforce was developed with the specific intention of developing

and coordinating a program to implement the Partnership Strategy in the Yellow

Sea.

IUCN Resolution 32

• 1. REQUESTS the Director General, IUCN

Commissions and Members to undertake an in-

depth study that

a) investigates the benefits of ecosystem

services provided by intertidal wetlands,

especially tidal flats and associated habitats, in

East Asia with particular reference to the Yellow

Sea, in relation to the benefits arising from the

land claim or conversion of such habitats;

IUCN Resolution 32

• 2. ENCOURAGES governments along the EAAF to recognize the international importance of their intertidal wetlands for biodiversity and ecosystem services, halting further approval of intertidal mudflat land claim at priority sites for biodiversity, irrespective of protection status, until a full assessment of the economics of ecological services and cultural values and identification of biodiversity needs can be completed;

IUCN Resolution 32

3. FURTHER ENCOURAGES governments along the

EAAF, in view of the importance of cooperation

between countries, to achieve effective

management, to develop international and national

action plans by 2014 to secure the future of this

fundamentally important resource, focusing on:

a. Agreeing on the key sites for endangered birds that

require urgent conservation and restoration, leading

to the conservation, before 2020, of at least 10% of

the intertidal zone as sustainably managed

protected areas;

IUCN Resolution 32

b. Strengthening implementation of the Ramsar

Convention (including encouraging ratification by the

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) to highlight

the importance of key sites and improve funding and

capacity to manage them;

c. Strengthening protected area legislation and

management, including increasing flexibility

regarding the integration and control of human

activities, to ensure achievement of conservation

objectives;

IUCN Resolution 32

d. Ensuring that enhanced coastal zone planning results in

stability of the biodiversity of the intertidal zone by

embracing the principles of sustainable development and

specifically by fully considering the ecological services and

dependent biodiversity of tidal flats and associated habitats

in integrated planning that incorporates appropriate

independent Strategic Environmental Assessment and

Environmental Impact Assessment processes, including

appropriate site selection that considers alternatives, design

to reduce impacts, compensation for unavoidable residual

damage, and monitoring to assess mitigation effectiveness

and trigger adaptive management;

IUCN Resolution 32

e. Restoring impounded internationally

important intertidal wetlands through

increasing tidal exchange to such sites;

IUCN Resolution 32

f. Strengthening levels of awareness, transparency and public participation as regards the importance, values and benefits of tidalflats and associated habitats;

g. Improving understanding of bird conservation needs via increased population monitoring and research on migratory bird patterns and ecological requirements; and

h. Using the EAAF Partnership, a Ramsar Regional Initiative, as a mechanism for implementing a clear strategy to guide investments, programmes and activities for strengthening habitat and species protection along the EAAF;

IUCN Resolution 32

4. FURTHER REQUESTS the Director General and IUCN

Commissions to:

Provide assistance to governments along the EAAF,

and particularly those around the Yellow Sea, to find

sustainable means of managing intertidal wetlands

that meet the needs of economic development and

biodiversity conservation, and to provide support to

the proposed or existing national and international

action plans as required
