• Shorebird populations are dynamic, stochastic systems, living in noisy, fluctuating environments – they
rarely reach equilibrium, and they are better understood not in terms of the effect of environmental
conditions on population size, but in terms of the effect of environmental conditions on population
growth rates
• Shorebirds may be more at risk from rising temperatures in the tropics than in the arctic
• Climatic variability, especially temperate seasonality, is of great importance and can reduce shorebird
population growth substantially
• Grey Plovers from Hong Kong appear to be breeding in Western Arctic Russia
• Temperatures affect the population growth rates of shorebirds, but they do not appear to affect the
chance of them coming to Deep Bay and being counted

Conservation Planning Process
Objective:
“a flyway-wide Conservation Plan is in place (for priority shorebird populations) to guide governments, conservationists, environmental NGOs and researchers to implement priority actions to conserve migratory shorebirds in the EAA Flyway”
Process:
1. Desktop-based Status Assessment Report (v2)
(Warren Lee Long, Yvonne Verkuil)
2. Stakeholder Workshop
3. Production of the Plan
4. Promotion and Implementation of the Plan

Status Assessment - Results
Red List criteria involve assessing a population against a number of
thresholds:
• population trend
• size
• extent of geographic range and
• explicit probability of extinction.
19 populations qualify for Near Threatened status or higher (IUCN Red List
criteria)
One additional population (Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata
orientalis) included; although the population trend in the EAAF is unclear, a
current or future decline appears likely.

• On September 2005, we started the first
survey on the set dates in 7 sites along the
coast

I just have one comment on page 3 -
the story of pelican!! The information is
not correct. It should be that there were
a total of 15 pelicans wintering at Mai
Po in that winter till 15 March. Then I
still saw one at Mai Po on 19 March
2005 and a group of 14 pelicans were
found flying over at Xiamen on 20
March 2005. So, we suspected these
should be the same group of birds and
realise the importance of the
synchronous count (for avoid double-
counting, for 'true' figures of waterbird
abundance along the China coast, etc).
Then we came out a decision to start
the count in September!

Behind the Pelican story,
• There were birders who start to focus on waterbirds
• They all attend the training by Mark Batter, who organized the
Yangtze River survey in 2004-2005

State firms, govts behind illegal sea
reclamation [China Daily 3 June 2009]
• State-owned companies and some
government bodies are to blame for
many illegal sea reclamation projects, a
senior official from the State Oceanic
Administration has said.
• Sixty-one of the 62 illegal cases last year
were conducted by governments and
port holdings.
• From 2006 to 2007, the illegally
reclaimed sea area reached 189 sq km.

What does it mean to have a resilient network of sites
• Minimum number of sites to effectively
conserve all target species during migration
• Focus on critical sites (the broken rungs)
• Build capacity for site management
• Focus partnerships on the key issues,
building constituencies

National Partnerships
• Focal Point for each national partner, often from
Environmental Authority
• Need to create and develop partnership that
provides forum for government, NGOs and civil
society and academic organizations
• Seek ways, nationally and internationally, to
reach appropriate decision-makers at relevant
levels
• Build on existing structures and mechanisms
Raising the Profile of the Ecological Crisis in EAAF
• Identify agents of change and leverage points
• Work at diplomatic and international
cooperation levels
• Understand the culture and minsets of those
whose opinions we are seeking to change
• Build a groundswell of popular support
• Target and tailor messages and approaches
• Tell compelling stories
• Make sure the science is right

EAAF Migratory Shorebird Conservation Plan
Stakeholder Workshop, Hong Kong : December 2013
Session 3: Potential Implementation mechanisms
EAAF Partnership: Shorebird Working Group
What is the Shorebird Working Group?
• One of 4 Species Working groups established by the Partnership (the others being Cranes, Anatidae and Seabirds)
• Purpose:• Repository of expertise and current information on shorebird conservation,
research and monitoring in the Flyway.• Forum for sharing information and identifying issues related to the
understanding and conservation of shorebirds in support of the Partnership strategies.
• Provide technical advice to Partners (and Task Forces) and help to identify gaps.
• Collaborate with other centres of expertise: IWSH, GFN,AEWA, WHSN etc• Membership:
• Each Partner is invited to nominate a representative on this group.• Supplementary network of experts and interested individuals.
Solutions for a living planet
EAAF Migratory Shorebird Conservation Plan
Stakeholder Workshop, Hong Kong : December 2013
Some Background:
� Asia- Pacific Migratory Waterbird Conservation Strategy: 1996 – 2005� 4 Technical Working groups were established, one of which was the Shorebird Working group.
� Following broad consultation with governments and NGO’s two 5 Year Action Plans were prepared. The 2001 – 2005 Plan had a budget of $2 million.� 14 key actions focusing on identifying and managing network sites and
increasing knowledge base of migratory shorebirds.� Engagement of a full time Shorebird Flyway officer� Oversight of implementation by Shorebird Working Group (comprising
government and non-government members).

EAAF Migratory Shorebird Conservation Plan
Stakeholder Workshop, Hong Kong : December 2013
What might be the Role of the SWG in relation to the proposed Plan for
Prioritisation of Shorebird Conservation?
� It can provide a forum for sharing information, identifying knowledge gaps and facilitating networking and communication.
� At MoP7 it was proposed that the key areas could include:� Conservation� Research� Networking and Communication.
�BUT� The Group has no dedicated resources or funding.� Formal and consultative membership to be widened if an additional role
envisaged.
� It cannot implement the Plan in its own right – it is the Partners that have to implement the Plan.
Let’s review again at the end of our Workshop.

Session 3: Potential Implementation mechanisms
EAAF Partnership: Yellow Sea Taskforce
Chair: Doug Watkins
Established at MoP3.
Tasked with developing a Partner workplan for the Yellow Sea. very little progress.
Representatives identified by the China and RoKorea National Government
Partners have a technical mandate and not policy.
Has not be able to obtain a national Government mandate to develop a workplan
and other National Government Partners have yet to stepped up to facilitate the
development of such a mandate.
The Yellow Sea Taskforce was developed with the specific intention of developing
and coordinating a program to implement the Partnership Strategy in the Yellow
Sea.

IUCN Resolution 32
• 1. REQUESTS the Director General, IUCN
Commissions and Members to undertake an in-
depth study that
a) investigates the benefits of ecosystem
services provided by intertidal wetlands,
especially tidal flats and associated habitats, in
East Asia with particular reference to the Yellow
Sea, in relation to the benefits arising from the
land claim or conversion of such habitats;
IUCN Resolution 32
• 2. ENCOURAGES governments along the EAAF to recognize the international importance of their intertidal wetlands for biodiversity and ecosystem services, halting further approval of intertidal mudflat land claim at priority sites for biodiversity, irrespective of protection status, until a full assessment of the economics of ecological services and cultural values and identification of biodiversity needs can be completed;

IUCN Resolution 32
3. FURTHER ENCOURAGES governments along the
EAAF, in view of the importance of cooperation
between countries, to achieve effective
management, to develop international and national
action plans by 2014 to secure the future of this
fundamentally important resource, focusing on:
a. Agreeing on the key sites for endangered birds that
require urgent conservation and restoration, leading
to the conservation, before 2020, of at least 10% of
the intertidal zone as sustainably managed
protected areas;
IUCN Resolution 32
b. Strengthening implementation of the Ramsar
Convention (including encouraging ratification by the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) to highlight
the importance of key sites and improve funding and
capacity to manage them;
c. Strengthening protected area legislation and
management, including increasing flexibility
regarding the integration and control of human
activities, to ensure achievement of conservation
objectives;
Page 122
16/12/2013

IUCN Resolution 32
d. Ensuring that enhanced coastal zone planning results in
stability of the biodiversity of the intertidal zone by
embracing the principles of sustainable development and
specifically by fully considering the ecological services and
dependent biodiversity of tidal flats and associated habitats
in integrated planning that incorporates appropriate
independent Strategic Environmental Assessment and
Environmental Impact Assessment processes, including
appropriate site selection that considers alternatives, design
to reduce impacts, compensation for unavoidable residual
damage, and monitoring to assess mitigation effectiveness
and trigger adaptive management;
IUCN Resolution 32
e. Restoring impounded internationally
important intertidal wetlands through
increasing tidal exchange to such sites;
Page 123
16/12/2013

IUCN Resolution 32
f. Strengthening levels of awareness, transparency and public participation as regards the importance, values and benefits of tidalflats and associated habitats;
g. Improving understanding of bird conservation needs via increased population monitoring and research on migratory bird patterns and ecological requirements; and
h. Using the EAAF Partnership, a Ramsar Regional Initiative, as a mechanism for implementing a clear strategy to guide investments, programmes and activities for strengthening habitat and species protection along the EAAF;
IUCN Resolution 32
4. FURTHER REQUESTS the Director General and IUCN
Commissions to:
Provide assistance to governments along the EAAF,
and particularly those around the Yellow Sea, to find
sustainable means of managing intertidal wetlands
that meet the needs of economic development and
biodiversity conservation, and to provide support to
the proposed or existing national and international
action plans as required
