Koshi Tappu’s Vital Role in the Central Asian Flyway
[]
BirdLife International
Among the main flyways on Earth is the Central Asian Flyway.
One of the priority sites for the Central Asian Flyway, identified by BirdLife International, is the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve (KTWR) in Nepal.
For these geese and the various species that use the Central Asian Flyway, the wetlands of Koshi Tappu, which cover over 22% of the reserve’s core, are essential for their survival.
Another incredible traveller that depends on Koshi Tappu as a junction and wintering ground is the Pallas’s Fish-eagle.
Other Key Biodiversity AreasBeyond their connection to Koshi Tappu, both the Bar-headed Goose and the Pallas’s Fish-eagle are deeply intertwined with other Key Biodiversity Areas along the Central Asian Flyway.
