Description
Conserving Shorebirds in the Atlantic Flyway. This storymap presents how partners are addressing threats to shorebirds and working to meet the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Initiative's conservation goal of increasing focal shorebird populations 10% by 2025. For more information about the storymap or specific projects, contact Debra_Reynolds@fws.gov Please see the storymap at this link: Conserving Shorebirds in the Atlantic Flyway (arcgis.com) The great migration... Shorebirds cross thousands of miles each year from the barren tundra of the arctic to the wind swept beaches of Tierra del Fuego in the southern hemisphere. The majority of shorebirds breeding in Alaska and Canada spend their non-breeding period in South American or Caribbean countries. During migration, shorebirds face a multitude of challenges including: finding sufficient food sources to fuel their long distant migrations; avoiding predators; competing for limited habitat; adapting to a changing climate; and succumbing to sport and subsistence hunting.
