Migration Ecology of Eurasian Curlew and Whimbrel in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna Delta (Bangladesh)

Project overview

This project investigated the migration ecology of Eurasian Curlew and Whimbrel in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna Delta, Bangladesh, between 2021 and 2023. It focused on identifying migratory routes, breeding areas, habitat use patterns, and key stopover sites. Field activities included population monitoring, behavioral observations, and tracking movements to understand habitat preferences and non-breeding site use. The study provides important insights into the ecology of these species and contributes to understanding their conservation needs in the Central Asian Flyway (CAF).

Key outcomes / expected outputs

Provided detailed insights into migratory routes, breeding areas, habitat use, and stopover sites of Eurasian Curlew and Whimbrel, enhancing understanding of their migratory ecology and conservation needs across the CAF and EAAF.
