A key focus of BirdLife’s Summit for the Flyways, held in Abu Dhabi, was the urgent need for bustard conservation. 15 of the world’s 26 species of bustards are listed as at risk by IUCN – including the three species found in Eurasia. Speakers from Eurasian Bustard Alliance, China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, International Fund for Houbara Conservation, and University of East Anglia shared research findings and discussed strategies to confront the formidable challenges facing Eurasian species.
