This is the video trailer used to launch the ninth edition of the Report on the Conservation Status of Migratory Waterbirds in the Agreement Area (CSR9) – AEWA’s triennial flagship report. For the first time, this edition of the CSR goes beyond tracking population trends to analyse the drivers behind population changes - the pressures threatening migratory waterbirds and the steps governments and other stakeholders need to take to reduce the pressures and threats on AEWA species. The newly presented threat analysis captured in the CSR9 report shows that the main pressures facing waterbirds in Africa and Eurasia are both widespread and interconnected. AEWA waterbird populations are being impacted by three main groups of threats: Biological resource use - including unsustainable hunting and bycatch in fisheries, infrastructure development and agricultural expansion and intensification. Addressing these threats requires collective, well-coordinated flyway-level action involving all governments and stakeholders actively working together under a shared vision and renewed commitment towards implementing the treaty. The CSR9 Report was presented to Parties at the Ninth Session of the Meeting of the Parties to the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA MOP9) on the opening day of the meeting on Tuesday, 11 November 2025 within the main conference venue at the UN Campus in Bonn, Germany.
