Fish and Wildlife Service has listed the “Rufa” population of Red Knot ( Calidris canutus rufa ) as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In South America, several key Red Knot sites are becoming shorebird reserves, and regional efforts are including the protection of habitats in urban development plans.

Conservationists at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) have been using remote controlled drones to watch the nests of endangered breeds and monitor the progress of reintroduced species. It’s quite possible that further research into the internal stress indicators of birds may reveal similar findings.

Thus, birds may be moving from protected areas to unprotected areas, creating a conservation mismatch. Expanded protected areas, buffer zones, and connectivity corridors may be needed to avoid local extinctions.
