Recovering Australia’s migratory shorebirds

该项目旨在确定如何管理澳大利亚的沿海环境，以帮助恢复受威胁的滨鸟物种。每年，数以百万计的候鸟从它们的北极繁殖地抵达澳大利亚，但这些标志性物种中的许多正在迅速减少，最近有两种被澳大利亚列为国家濒危物种。恢复这些受威胁的物种是一项重要的优先任务。该项目旨在发现何时何地采取行动恢复日渐减少的迁徙物种。它还计划评估澳大利亚和海外现有的保护机制的力度，以保护迁徙物种免于灭绝，并确定如何在移民抵达澳大利亚海岸时加强对他们的保护。

This project seeks to determine how Australia’s coastal environments can be managed to aid in the recovery of threatened shorebird species. Millions of migratory shorebirds arrive in Australia each year from their Arctic breeding grounds, yet many of these iconic species are in rapid decline, and two were recently nominated as nationally threatened in Australia. Recovering these threatened species is an important priority. The project aims to discover when and where to act to recover declining migratory species. It also plans to assess the strength of protective mechanisms already in place in Australia and overseas to protect migratory species from extinction, and determine how to improve protection for migrants when they arrive on Australia’s shores.
