BirdLife International, supported by the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), has compiled International Action Plans for three highly threatened waterbirds in Asia: Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Chinese Crested Tern, and Black-faced Spoonbill. The action plans for the Critically Endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper (Calidris pygmaea) and Chinese Crested Tern (Thalasseus bernsteini) were launched at the fourth meeting of the East Asian – Australasian Flyway Partnership on 23 February 2010.
