At the Ramsar Conference of the Parties, currently taking place in Romania, Wetlands International have launched the new Waterbird Population Estimates website. This fantastic new resource presents the latest (5th) version of WPE, as well as information from previous versions of WPE and other relevant sources of status information (primarily the Conservation Status Reports prepared for AEWA). It will undoubtedly be an essential resource for many years to come. Thanks go to all the DSG members that provided information that supported the completion of WPE5 and the development of WPE online.
