Fang says the second step for the birding community will be to work hard at promoting IBAs and having them listed as sanctuaries and on the basis of IBAs to pull together local interest groups to work together to protect bird habitats.
「曾文溪口黑面琵鷺保護區」就是一個相當成功的例子，該區域 2000 年劃為 IBA，到 2002 年底已正式公告為保護區。方偉宏表示，鳥界的第二步將努力推動將 IBA 都列入保護區，並藉由 IBA 來結合當地利害關係團體，共同守護棲地環境。
