International cooperation across their migratory range is therefore essential to conserve and protect migratory water birds and the habitats on which they depend. [2] East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) identified 1060 sites as internationally important for migratory birds. [2] These sites are called the Flyway Site Network.
