Sonadia Island now internationally recognised as a home for wintering Spoon-bill

 

Sonadia Island in Bangladesh is now internationally recognised as a home for wintering Spoon-billed Sandpiper.  

Several articles are now hitting the media regarding this decision by Birdlife International.

Read more here from the RSPB.

As Birdlife Species Champion for the Spoonbilled Sandpiper, and our longstanding support of the programme being undertaken in Far East Russia and linked with WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre in the UK, we are pleased to see the birds are gaining wider protection around their wintering habitat.

We offer several opportunities on our Far East Russia voyages to be actively involved with the project, working alongside experts.  Contact us at [email protected] for more information, or check our Far East Russia voyages here.

Read a personal message from founder of Heritage Expeditions, Rodney Russ, about how the company is supporting the Spoonbilled Sandpiper programme in 2013.
