This grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is for the continued monitoring and conservation of Red Knots (Calidris canutus rufa) and their vital food sources at the Banco dos Cajuais, a crucial site in northeastern Brazil. The funding, awarded to Associacao de Pesquisa e Preservacao de Ecossistemas Aquaticos (Aquasis), aims to address significant gaps in basic scientific knowledge regarding the stopover and wintering behaviors of migratory rufa Red Knots and other shorebird species within this specific area. Aquasis was chosen based on its unique qualifications and established, ongoing work, which is essential for understanding and protecting these vulnerable migratory bird populations along the Western Atlantic Flyway.
