This will be achieved by:

• The establishment of links between conservation and bird orientated groups in the region
• Developing regional communications links via email websites and the production of a regular newsletter
• Promoting regional meetings and workshops to focus attention on global and local issues.

The Network includes:

• Shorebird/wetlands researchers
• Wetland managers (linked through Wetlands Link International-Asia, Wetlands International)

Conservation and study groups such as:

• National and regional shorebird groups
• Wetlands International
• Birdlife International
• WWF
• International, regional and local bird groups
