Online portal for waterbird population

The Environment AgencyAbu Dhabi (EAD) announced its support for the development of a one-of-its-kind online portal that will provide the latest information on global Waterbird Population Estimates (WPE).

Within the UAE, the digital platform will provide opportunities for the identification of new Ramsar wetland sites, which requires the most upto-date information on local waterbird species.

On completion, the portal will host data for nearly 800 waterbird species and 2,300 biogeographic populations worldwide. (WAM)
