Shorebirds Ingest Plastics Too: What we know, what we don't know and what we should do next

AMBI shorebird plastics research summaryOnly 12% of the world’s shorebird species have been examined for plastics ingestion. Over half of those species contained some form of plastic.

Shorebirds are long-distance migrants that move between some of the cleanest and most polluted habitats on Earth during their annual cycle. With global concern over declining trends in many shorebird populations, evaluating threats to shorebird species and their habitats is a first step towards developing plans for conservation. This is well underway for many threats, such as habitat loss, harvest, and climate change, but relatively little attention has been given to the threat of plastics pollution on shorebird populations. 

This work was conducted under the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) and International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) Fellowship as a contribution to the Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI), Americas Flyway 2019-2025 Action 5.2 to “promote studies that assess the prevalence and impacts of plastic contamination in shorebird populations in the Arctic.

北極渡り鳥イニシアティブ(AMBI):作業計画2019-2025(改訂版)

AMBI EAAF 2019 2023 J 1

北極渡り鳥イニシアティブ(AMBI)は、北極評議会の生物多様性作業部会である北極圏植物相・動物相保存作業部会(CAFF)のプロジェクトである。AMBI は、減少しつつある北極圏で繁殖する渡り鳥の保全状況を改善し、長期にわたって確実に持続可能となることを目指して策定された。AMBI は人々が共有する天然資源・文化財保全を通じて、渡り鳥が生計と精神の源であるような社会にとってもプラスの影響を与えることができるであろう。

2013 年の北極生物多様性評価によると、北極圏の多くの移動性の種、特に東アジア・オーストラリア地域のフライウェイを使う渡り鳥が、北極圏の外で、乱獲や生息地の改変という脅威にさらされている。

AMBI は、北極生物多様性評価の勧告8「広範囲に渡る移動性種の越冬地及び中継地並びにフライウェイとその他の渡り経路において、多くの渡り性の種の生息地の劣化や乱獲などの脅威を軽減する」の実施を提案している。

AMBI では、次の4つのフライウェイでの活動を計画している。

  • アフリカ・ユーラシア地域フライウェイ
  • 南北アメリカ地域フライウェイ
  • 周極地域フライウェイ
  • 東アジア・オーストラリア地域フライウェイ及び中央アジア地域フライウェイ

Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI) Work Plan 2015-2019 REVISED

REVISED

The Arctic Migratory Birds Initiative (AMBI) is designed to improve the conservation status and secure the long-term sustainability of declining Arctic breeding migratory bird populations. This work plan identifies key actions over four years.

AMBI will have a positive impact on societies for whom migratory birds are a source of livelihood and spiritual inspiration. AMBI also provides an early implementation of Recommendation #8 of the Arctic Biodiversity Assessment to reduce stressors on migratory species range-wide.
