World Heritage Status For the East Atlantic Flyway?

The UK government is seeking UNESCO World Heritage Site status for England's East Atlantic Flyway. This flyway links bird migration routes, from the Arctic Circle to Southern Africa via Western Europe (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/15/avian-super-highway-uks-pitstop-for-migrating-birds-seeks-unesco-status-aoe). The East Atlantic Flyway takes in the Humber, Blakeney National Nature Reserve in Norfolk, RSPB Minsmere in Suffolk and Old Hall Marshes RSPB and Wallasea Island (both in Essex). More than 155 species of bird rely on this 'avian superhighway'. It's used for breeding, over-wintering and resting, whilst on arduous migrations. More than one million birds over-winter here. Two hundred thousand birds use this route, whilst migrating in the Spring and another 700,000 in the Autumn (Fall). The East Atlantic Flyway is especially important to species like the Dunlin, the Grey plover and the Pink-footed goose. If made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the East Atlantic Flyway would be only the third UK natural history location to achieve this status. It might also make UK governments look after it more effectively.
