Résumé :	Japanese scientists, in collaboration with other Asian and American scientists, have used satellites to track the migration of birds in eastern Asia for almost 20 years. The migration patterns of around 20 species of birds, including cranes, storks, swans and raptors, have been studied. The data obtained can be used in a variety of applications, from determining migration routes, stopover patterns and wintering sites, to more advanced analyses, such as habitat use and the connectivity and network structure of migration pathways. The results of this research have been used to establish nature reserves and to develop recommendations for improving the location of nature reserves along migration routes.
