The Regional Flyway Initiative (RFI) is a large-scale transboundary program that seeks to mobilize $3 billion in investments over ten years to protect, restore, and sustainably manage a comprehensive network of threatened natural wetlands— including mangrove forests, peatlands, marshes, tidal mudflats, and coral atolls—along the East Asian–Australasian (EAA) Flyway.

This Data Room contains information on the identification and selection of RFI priority wetland sites, knowledge briefs and infographics, presentation materials from in-country wetland ecosystem services workshops, and other documents related to the ongoing implementation of the RFI. For periodic updates, sign up here. 

RFI investments along the EAA Flyway aim to preserve critical biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and sustain the lives and livelihoods of nearly 200 million people in Asia and the Pacific. RFI projects can also help countries achieve Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement, National Development Plan objectives, and commitments to the Convention on Biological Diversity, RAMSAR convention, and Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction.
