Sveta is a chairman of local “spoon-billed sandpiper’s friends club”. She implements community monitoring of spoon-billed sandpiper population and environment in Meinopilgyno. She has been in this role from the 2001, when the first ornithologist expedition arrived here. Without her support we could hardly have made this expedition possible. Sveta is really fond of this cute bird.
Incredible and moving footage of Spoonie's 05 and P7 in the Inner Gulf of #Thailand. An homage to this little bird flying towards extinction, and to our host country for its critical role in the race to save it and secure a future for Spoonies #SaveSpoonie https://youtu.be/U3-9xlJ8tfM
