 | | Subject: Asian wetlands project ASIAN ANATIDAE ATLAS PROJECT CALL FOR INFORMATION Wetlands International is currently preparing an atlas of internationally important sites for Anatidae (ducks, geese and swans) in Asia. |
 | | The atlas will define population flyway boundaries and identify important sites in the Asian region for Anatidae, and provide a brief description on each species. |
 | | Two basic criteria, compatible with the Ramsar criteria for identification of wetlands of international importance are being used to identify sites: (a) >20,000 individuals of total number of Anatidae supported, and (b) >1% of a population of an Anatid species. |
