Résumé :	In late summer 1998 the project "Atlas of migratory birds in Germany" was launched when three major energy suppliers decided to grant financial support for the development of a preliminary concept. The atlas will comprehensively cover all aspects of bird migration relevant for conservation and deal with the classification and geographical location of important migratory pathways, staging areas, and wintering sites in Germany. The preliminary study resulted in a concept encompassing the scientific framework, organisational structures, and possible partners for the book project. Aspects to be dealt with include population trends, availability and status of staging and wintering sites, and threat factors as well as necessary conservation measures arising from the analysis and the international obligations to safeguard migratory species. Since it is intended to provide an overview of all important staging and wintering sites in Germany, the atlas will form the scientific basis for conservation management and landscape planning, and will thus help to fill an important gap in the ornithological literature.
