Rassembler des parties prenantes/R�seautageFollowing the Resolution there has been a renewed effort to improve coordination and support to national networks. The Ministry of the Environment of Japan, Swiss Federal Office for the Environment and Environment Canada have provided support towards regional coordination activities.
Education/Communication/Sensibilisation2016 marks the 50th year of waterbird counting in the framework of the global IWC and to celebrate this landmark, a year-long global campaign has been launched in January 2016, aimed at raising awareness and interest and to promote conservation action at critically important wetlands for waterbirds along all flyways.
Activit�s de terrainWaterbird monitoring is through the International Waterbird Census, coordinated by Wetlands International. Several Waterbird Specialist Groups are involved in monitoring. In addition, various local and national networks are involved in monitoring single threatened species. Several Waterbird Specialist Groups are involved in the implementation of monitoring work.

See above.
Quelles mesures ont été prises afin de surmonter ces obstacles ?: 
National capacity for monitoring of waterbirds varies considerably and needs to be strengthened, requiring long term and dependable resources. Additionally resources are required to support coordination at all levels - local, national and international. Additionally, plans are being developed for establishment of a global waterbird monitoring fund to support enhancing local monitoring networks.

Activité FutureDescription
FormationOptions to enhance implementation of the resolution through greater interaction with the Secretariat and Council will be explored.
Rassembler des parties prenantes/R�seautageAdditional resources are urgently required from IUCN members and others to strengthen national and regional coordination, fill geographic gaps to extend monitoring of critically important wetlands, improve quality and consistency of monitoring and strengthen reporting by the networks.
Activit�s de terrainRegarding monitoring - Plans are progressing to promote a focussed effort on monitoring of coastal wetlands in Jan/Feb 2017 as part of the annual IWC. Linked to this is a plan for a more focussed Indian Ocean Coastal Count that aims to provide new information on coastal wetlands and waterbirds populations and conservation challenges.
FundraisingPlanning for the “Waterbird Population Estimates 6th edition” is underway and additional resources are required to undertake this work. The urgency of resourcing this has been raised at the 52nd Ramsar Standing Committee Meeting by the Acting Secretary General in 2016, a call that is supported by governments.
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesAs per above - continuation of the same - e.g. monitoring.
