1 day to go, so why are we doing this again?

This is why we are doing this. We want a future world with many healthy adult Spoon-billed Sandpipers!

This is how this can be achieved, by captive breeding coupled with conservation work along the bird's flyway.

This is most definitely NOT what we want,  a bird that is lost to the world through our own ignorance and lack of action.

Remember that conservation work carried out in the field will also benefit many other wader species.
There is still time for us to save them from a fate worse than death; EXTINCTION!

Their future is in our hands!
