Black-tailed Godwit - the journey of a bird under threat
Publisher's Description
The UNEP/AEWA Secretariat and the Belgian wildlife painter Yves Fagniart worked together to create this book, to commemorate the 15th Anniversary of AEWA, on 16 June 2010. It tells the story of the AEWA species,the Black-tailed Godwit,a migratory wader. Particular attention is paid to the Black-tailed Godwit because the population of the nominate race is declining dramatically. An International Single Species Action Plan, outlining the conservation of the Black-tailed Godwit was adopted under AEWA, in 2008. The long-term goal was to combat the threats the Black-tailed Godwit is confronted with in the different countries where it is found and to restore the species to a favourable conservation status. This book depicts a diverse selection of habitats and threats in a choice of the 62 countries hosting Black-tailed Godwits along the birds’ migration route.
