#ISTC20#Sesh5 1/16 I thank the organisers for a chance to present my research here. I work on the Spoon-billed sandpiper (SBS), a charismatic species, characterised by an unusual shape of its beak. It is also critically endangered, with <200 pairs left in the wild. #ISTC20#Sesh5 2/16 SBS breeds only in Chukotka (the most North-Eastern part of Eurasia). It flies to Southeast Asia for winter, stopping at key sites in China and other countries during the trip. It is a flagship and umbrella species helping to shape environmental policy.
