Special thanks to Dr. Larry Niles, Amanda Dey and the team of international researchers who have driven the science on this. Also a whole list of non-profits have worked hard to achieve the listing including NJ Audubon, American Bird Conservancy, National Audubon, Defenders for Wildlife, American Littoral Society, Delaware Riverkeeper, the Eastern Environmental Law Center and others. Congrats to all on achieving this milestone which will be key to the Red Knot conservation work in the US.
