Stroud, these are the proceedings of a conference, Waterbirds around the World, which met in Edinburgh during April 2004. Over 450 conservation scientists from some 90 countries attended. 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. The book also contains the Edinburgh Declaration, which calls for action to halt the loss of wetlands and to strengthen networks of key sites along every flyway. The text is illustrated with figures, maps and photographs.…
