What backs it

The Ferruginous Duck, currently classified as Near Threatened, migrates across the African-Eurasian Flyway—a 2-billion-bird corridor stretching from Arctic tundra to southern Africa—stopping at Key Biodiversity Areas including the Pokuplje Basin in Croatia and Lake Nasser in Egypt, which together support over 220,000 waterbirds during migration.
