The Regional Flyway Initiative (RFI) Training Series: Workshop on Wetland Ecosystem Services and Nature-based Solutions, co-organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP), and BirdLife International, aimed to enhance the institutional capacity of governments and national-level stakeholders for understanding wetland values across the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.

Workshop objective: To strengthen the capacity of wetland managers, policymakers, and conservation practitioners for sustainable wetland management through an in-depth understanding of wetland ecosystem services and how to assess them. The ecosystem service assessment process is expected to involve stakeholder consultation and engagement that will help gather consensus on site boundaries for priority wetlands, habitat types, provision of ecosystem services, drivers of change, and addressing challenges at the site level.
