Around the world, many migratory bird species are sharply declining in numbers, and these declines are indicative of the threats facing the wider environment.
Their potential disappearance from the landscape, locally, nationally and regionally, was unthinkable 30 years ago but is now an increasing prospect unless action is taken on an international scale to conserve sites and habitats along their flyways.
