TOI: The Central Asian Flyway encompasses overlapping migration routes over 30 countries for different water-birds linking their northernmost breeding ground in Siberia to the southernmost non-breeding grounds in west and south Asia, the Maldives and the British Indian Ocean territory.  “India has a strategic role in the flyway as it provides critical stopover sites to over 90% of the bird species known to use this migratory route,” says the India’s National Action Plan (NAP) for Conservation of Migratory Birds and their Habitats.

According to the NAP, at least 370 species of migratory birds from three flyways (CAF, East Asian Australasian Flyway covering parts of eastern India and Asian East African Flyway covering parts of western India) are reported to visit Indian sub-continent during their annual cycle.
