EAAFP pre-MOP9 meeting: Shorebird Working Group and Far Eastern Curlew Task Force

Rick Lanctot, Shorebird Working Group Chair
Mark Carey, Far Eastern Curlew Task Force Chair

A one day meeting focused on the Shorebird Working Group and the Far Eastern Curlew Task Force prior to the EAAFP MOP9 meeting in Singapore will be held on 10 January 2017.

For the Shorebird Working Group portion of the meeting, the Chair is looking for 8 people who wish to describe the shorebird activities that your country (or group in the case of Non-governmental entities) has been conducting for the past 2 years or is hoping / planning to conduct in the coming years. In addition, the Chair would ask these speakers to present ideas of how the larger Shorebird Working Group might work on a common project during the 2017-2019 time period.  This is a great opportunity to showcase what you think is important and to galvanize additional interest from other groups throughout the flyway.
