A key takeaway from #AEWAMOP9 side event: knowledge drives resilience. The Flyway Assessment gives us the evidence to guide climate-smart conservation; now we need implementation. #EastAtlanticFlyway #CREAFProject

How are #WestAfrican countries integrating wetland and migratory waterbird #conservation into policy while strengthening community resilience along the East Atlantic Flyway? 👉Join us on Dec 2 for a webinar to explore more: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Today at #AEWAMOP9 (14:30–15:15, UN Campus Bonn): CREAF unites nations through purpose, protecting migration routes from Arctic tundras to African shores. Join our side event on building a climate-resilient East Flyway. #MigratoryBirds

Day 2 at #AEWAMOP9 brought energy, reflection, and shared care for wetlands and migratory birds. Here with CREAF, connecting people and linking big agreements to real flyway action. Side event Thursday, a working talk on what helps, what’s hard, what’s next. #EastAtlanticFlyway #WaddenSea

How can we turn science into action for migratory waterbirds? Join us at #AEWAMOP9 in Bonn for our side event: Building Climate Resilience along the Flyway, exploring how data & policy can shape a climate-resilient #EastAtlanticFlyway. @unep.org @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @iki-germany.bsky.social

The East Atlantic Flyway Youth Forum showed what happens when young people lead. From policy to practice, youth are safeguarding wetlands, people, & migratory birds along the EAF. Read more: flyway.waddensea-worldheritage.org/from-policy-... #YouthForWetlands @ramsar.org @wetlandsint.bsky.social

🩺 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? 🔗 flyway.waddensea-worldheritage.org/flyway-birds... #ClimateAction @protectspecies.bsky.social

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. lnkd.in/eJ43SdhV #GlobalGoals

Conservation is about people as much as wildlife. When communities are involved, everyone thrives. 🌱 💬 What motivates communities where you work to protect nature? 🔗 flyway.waddensea-worldheritage.org/black-crowne... #CommunityStewardship #Biodiversity

🌍 Over 2 days, East Atlantic Flyway partners leveled up their storytelling skills, from photos & videos to local messaging & community engagement. Big thanks to all for protecting wetlands, birds & people! 💚 #FlywayResilience #WetlandsMatter

💡 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? 👉 lnkd.in/emD9Ywyn #MigratoryBirds #Wetlands @ramsar.org
