Thi is an bilingual publication on the African Waterbirds.
Counts by thousands of volunteers havetaken place troughout Africa every year since 1991. The results of these annual counts are presented in this pubication, providing an unique insight in the status of the African Waterbird Populations.
Description:
Africa is a very important continent for waterbirds. Not only for the impressive list of populations of African waterbirds, but also for the millions of migratory waterbirds that depend on wetlands like the Inner Niger Delta in Mali and the Banc d'Argain on the coast of Mauretania. These wetlands are crucial for the survival of millions of waders or herons. Wetlands like these are also very vulnerable. Lake Chad, a very important area for waterbirds, reduced considerable in size due to irrigation and possibly climate change.
Policy makers and NGOs need information on bird populations and their migration patters to be able to identify crucial wetlands and to be able to take the right decisions. Wetlands International is providing this information with this African Waterbird Cencus publication.
