Welcome to AFCoW! We’re excited you’re here!
The Asian Flyways Collaborative for Waterbirds (AFCoW) is a group of researchers seeking to exchange ideas and find opportunities for collaboration to improve the understanding of waterbird ecology in the Asian Flyways. AFCoW is directed at members interested in participating in scientific discussions or developing research partnerships on waterbirds in the Central Asian and East Asian-Australasian Flyways.
AFCoW supports a ListServe (AFCoW@simplelists.com) that allows its members to share email messages including updates of recent work and discussions of a variety of relevant topics, problems, or analyses. Joining the ListServe is open to all. Subscribe in the sidebar with your name and email, or send an email to afcow@simplelists.com. Please add the afcow email to you contact list so you receive the confirmation email.
To enhance our discussions, we are planning to initiate an AFCoW Webinar Series starting in October 2021 (see News and Events), providing an opportunity for members to present talks about their waterbird research interests and findings. In addition, we hope to facilitate meetings on waterbirds of East Asia at stand-alone events or associated with upcoming conferences.
If you have suggestions or questions about the initiative, please send an email to the moderators at AFCoW@simplelists.com. We would love to hear from you about ways to improve the value of AFCoW for the group members. Also, if you have field photos to share, please send them along so we can post them on the AFCoW website.
