Key Habitats of the Central Asian Flyway
Central Asian Conservation Network
The Central Asian Flyway (CAF) links breeding grounds in the Russian Arctic with wintering areas in South Asia and the Maldives, supporting millions of migratory birds each year. Birds rely on a connected chain of ecosystems that provide breeding, stopover, feeding, and wintering habitats along the route. The habitats listed below are illustrative examples of key landscapes and not an exhaustive list. Conserving this network of ecosystems is vital for sustaining migratory bird populations.
