Birds migrating across the Himalayan region fly over the highest
peaks in the world, facing immense physiological and climatic
challenges. The authors show the different strategies used by birds
to cope with these challenges. Many wetland avian species are seen
in the high-altitude lakes of the Himalayas and the adjoining
Tibetan Plateau, such as Bar-Headed Geese. Ringing programmes have
generated information about origins and destinations, and this book
is the first to present information on the bird's exact migratory
paths. Capitalising on knowledge generated through satellite
telemetry, the authors describe the migratory routes of a multitude
of birds flying over or skirting the Himalayas. The myriad of
threats to migratory birds and the wetland system in the Central
Asian Flyway are discussed, with ways to mitigate them. This volume
will inform and persuade policy-makers and conservation
practitioners to take appropriate measures for the long-term
survival of this unique migration.
