More than 240 papers are grouped by region, topic and cross-cutting theme, and they cover the conservation, management and research of waterbird migration routes worldwide. Introductory papers include an essay on what the flyway concept does and does not mean, and a review of the population status of the world's waders. Regional studies range from wader declines on the east coast of India to the shorter movements of birds that migrate within Africa, such as flamingos. Other papers deal with genetic risks in small wader populations and with sustainable hunting of migratory waterbirds in Denmark.
