Why do countries need to protect Flyways?  Approximately one in five of the worlds 11000 bird species migrate some covering enormous distances. Conserving migratory birds requires cooperation and coordination along the entire flyway between countries and across national boundaries.  154  Safeguarding flyways means protecting the birds from poachers rejuvenating wetlands among others.
