Protecting Migratory Birds: Sustainable Tourism and Community Livelihoods

The Destination Flyways project aims to protect migratory birds and their habitats while fostering sustainable livelihoods for local communities. By developing innovative, sustainable tourism products along major migratory routes—including the East Atlantic, West Asian-East African, Central Asian, and East Asian-Australasian Flyways—this initiative seeks to enhance habitat management, provide diverse tourism options, and position tourism as a driver for sustainability. The project is implemented in collaboration with organizations such as BirdLife International and the UNWTO, ensuring effective conservation and tourism practices.
