🩺 Migratory birds = health check-ups for wetlands.
🌱 Big flocks = thriving wetlands
🚨 Fewer birds = stressed ecosystems

They’re warning systems for climate change & habitat loss.
👉 Are we listening?

The EAF connects more than birds!

Through wetlands conservation, science & community action, CREAF advances global frameworks like the GBF, @ramsar.org & AEWA.

Migratory birds remind us: local action drives global change.

Conservation is about people as much as wildlife.
When communities are involved, everyone thrives. 🌱

💬 What motivates communities where you work to protect nature?

💡 Education saves wildlife.

At Songor Ramsar site, Ghana, a Black-crowned Night Heron caught in a net became a case study in how education transforms conflict into conservation success.

💬 How can communities coexist with migratory birds?

Flyways are ancient sky-paths that birds follow across continents, but they carry more than wings. These migration corridors carry the fate of #Wetlands, cultures, & #ClimateResilience.
