Buff-breasted Sandpiper

AMBI Americas Flyway

In the Americas Flyway, AMBI works with partners to address priority conservation issues including:

  • the underlying threats that contribute to loss or degradation of habitats, such as the expansion of white geese on tundra habitats, human-caused disturbances in coastal development, unsustainable hunting and plastic pollution.
  • climate change, affecting shorebird productivity in the Arctic, and the habitat quality and quantity throughout the flyway.

AMBI has identified 7 objectives and 15 actions in the flyway work plan.
