AMBI 2.0 Planning workshop (Rovaniemi, Finland) 2018.10.12. 2th Arctic Biodiversity Congress (Rovaniemi, Finland) Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative – East Asian-Australasian Flyway Priority conservation issues and actions 1. Secure important breeding and staging habitats of key AMBI-EAAF migratory bird species in Arctic Russia and Alaska, with a focus on Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Bar-tailed Godwit and Dunlin 2. Secure intertidal and associated habitat for Arctic waders at key staging and wintering sites in the EAAF 3. Prevent illegal harvest and regulate unsustainable legal harvest of Arctic migratory birds, with a focus on Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Lesser White-fronted Goose, Bar-tailed Godwit, and other priority species R eferen ce w eb site: h ttp ://w w w .caff.is/arctic-m ig ra tory-birds-initiative-am bi/east-asian-australasian- flyw ay Important Habitat for Waterbirds in Republic of Korea!! 1 2 1 100 2 3 27 6 5 59 3 3 4 5 6 5 4 14 6 7 Far Eastern Curlew 7 (Fuller 2015) Mckinnon et al.
