Description: Waterbirds in the Mediterranean region
atlas (851) mediterranean (622) waders (48) gull (38) gulls (14) terns (4) laridae (2) goéland (2) charadriidae (1)
Many groups of waterbirds in the Mediterranean basin have currently major conservation issues but are often poorly monitored and studied. Mediterranean wetlands are breeding grounds for ducks, waders, gulls, flamingos, spoonbills, ibis, pelicans... but also major wintering areas and stop-over migration areas for dozens of species in transit between the Arctic, Northern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa.
The aim of this site is to help: • the creation and management of a network between Mediterranean partners involved in the conservation of waterbirds in the Mediterranean, whether professional or volunteer • to informe decision-makers and their awareness for the conservation of these species
This site is a collaborative platform allowing to exchange and disseminate information on waterbirds between the Mediterranean countries to help their conservation. It aims also to raise awareness of conservation issues facing these species in the Mediterranean basin and promote conservation actions at the institutional, political and scientific level.
