The Black-faced Spoonbill (Platalea minor), an endangered species and NEASPEC flagship species, has seen remarkable population recovery thanks to strong international cooperation. Building on the original International Single Species Action Plan (ISSAP) launched in 1995 and revised in 2010, a new revision for the 2026–2036 period has been proposed by the Black-faced Spoonbill Working Group to address persistent and emerging threats such as habitat loss, urban expansion, and climate change.

To support this effort, NEASPEC will convene a Technical Review Meeting to bring together key experts and contributors for a detailed review of the draft revised ISSAP. The meeting will provide a platform for technical validation, collaborative input, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring the updated plan effectively guides conservation efforts across North-East Asia in the coming decade.
