Series: ADB Data Room: Regional Flyway Initiative Thailand This page presents the Regional Flyway Initiative (RFI) priority sites in Thailand. The Regional Flyway Initiative (RFI), led by the Asian Development Bank in partnership with the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) and BirdLife International, supports the identification and prioritization of key wetland sites across Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Mongolia, Thailand, Viet Nam, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and the People’s Republic of China. These wetlands form part of the East Asian–Australasian Flyway and are critical for migratory waterbirds, while also delivering essential ecosystem services, including climate regulation, flood protection, and livelihood support. Across these 11 DMCs, the RFI is working with national counterparts to refine a network of priority wetland sites for early-stage project development and targeted conservation action. These sites are selected based on their ecological importance, conservation urgency, and potential for sustainable management and investment. This page provides an overview of RFI priority sites by country, highlighting key wetlands identified for focused conservation planning and investment under the initiative.
