Saving Shorebirds. It isn’t easy. It isn’t Cheap.Manomet scientists are scrambling to understand the gauntlet of natural and human induced perils shorebirds encounter along their migration routes. Our goal is to work with land managers around the hemisphere to stem the decline of these birds, which seem to be all but disappearing. One of the most difficult, but important places for Manomet to study shorebirds is the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This area, which is being eyed for oil drilling is home to 14 breeding shorebird species, six of which face serious threats to their survival. Manomet is leading a project to understand and improve the conservation of shorebirds that breed in the Arctic. But we need your help to get this done fast before drilling begins. Sending field crews to this remote region of Alaska is extremely expensive and requires the support of private individuals like you. So, if you care about shorebirds and would like to help ensure their survival in the Arctic, please help us inform the debate over their future.
