说明
沿着东大西洋航道踏上一段非同寻常的旅程,这是一条壮观的航线,数以百万计的滨鸟在北极的繁殖地和欧洲及非洲的越冬地之间穿行。 这些非凡的生物每年两次,行程长达 16,000 公里,是地球上最令人敬畏的自然奇观之一。
在这本引人入胜的书中,我们将跟随一队无畏的鸟类学家揭开海岸鸟类迁徙的神秘面纱。 通过他们交织在一起的故事,我们对鸟类惊人的迁徙模式、繁殖和越冬栖息地以及重要的中途停留地点有了深刻的了解。
深入鸟类生物学和行为学的奇妙世界,我们将目睹蓝绿色海岸景观的奇观、苔原的壮美以及这些鸟类赖以生存的原始荒野。 一路上,我们发现了教育、社区参与、宣传和国际合作在保护沿途珍贵景点方面的重要作用。
一串珍珠保护重要栖息地
通过发现、偶然和坚定承诺的故事,我们见证了不同国家的热心人士的合作努力。 他们坚定不移的奉献精神促成了 “一串珍珠 “的诞生–一个由国家公园和其他保护区组成的网络,保护着飞行路线上的重要栖息地。
未来的挑战和希望
本书在赞颂海岸鸟类保护工作取得的卓越成就的同时,也指出了这些鸟类面临的持续威胁。 气候变化、栖息地丧失和人类活动对它们的生存构成了重大挑战。
尽管存在这些障碍,本书中介绍的故事和成果还是为未来带来了一丝希望和乐观。 通过了解岸鸟令人难以置信的恢复力和适应性,并继续建立强有力的国际伙伴关系,我们可以努力确保这些非凡的生物及其赖以生存的栖息地得到持续保护。

Martin Hiller –
Perhaps the most impressive network in the world
The term networking could refer to a good internet connection or a large circle of friends. Networks in nature seem far more important since interdependence is one of the most essential ecological principles.
Migratory birds can cover thousands of kilometres on their flight paths to get from their southern wintering spaces to the northern breeding grounds. The energy expenditure for these marathon trips is huge, and so the birds depend on feeding stations on the way where they can boost their reserves in a short time to then attack the next long stage.
The East Atlantic flyway stretches from southern Africa via such “snack stations” in West Africa – e.g. the famous Banc d’ Arguin in Mauritania – to the European west coast, with its hub in the Wadden Sea between the British Isles and the Continent´s West coast from France to Denmark. Then further, either north-east to the Siberian tundra and coastal region (centrepieces include the Taimyr Peninsula and the delta of the Siberian Lena River), or north-west to Svalbard, Iceland, Greenland and north-eastern Canada.
The Bar-tailed Godwit, for example, breeds in the high Arctic, but stays over winter in Western Europe, the Mediterranean or even further south in West Africa. It holds the world record among long-distance flyers: a godwit fitted with a transmitter by researchers flew a total of 11,600 kilometres in nine days – non-stop!
This richly illustrated book brings the various stations of the East Atlantic flyways closer to the reader through a variety of well-told stories, and it demonstrates the long struggle to secure the core zones without which bird migration would collapse. Peter Prokosch and co-authors tell the amazing story of these landscapes and their flora and fauna with profound expertise and many years of experience. And they describe the critical contributions of those who value and love these flyways and have done so much to save them.
A great gift for all bird lovers and ornithologists, for all those interested in nature conservation, and those who simply want to marvel at a wonder of nature.
