Up to 100 kg – possibly a female, my guide and a bear researcher from the wildlife charity Callisto, Yannis Tsanakis, tells me. According to the latest research data, the total Brown Bear population in Greece is 475 to 500 and here in the Pindos range there are 350 to 400 animals (Pilidis, 2015, in pub.).

What I have always missed there and what I still miss is to experience presence of the European Beaver. In 2010 the League for Ornithological Action, a local NGO, initiated the protection of the Danube foreland , which was accepted by the authorities. What else was to be found in that waterworld?

I also did not understand the centrality of the Delaware Bay to shorebird migration, how timing and geographic design and water quality and tidal streams, the rich salt marshes and protected beaches combine to make this specific area of New Jersey and Delaware “The Most Important Stopover of the Western Hemisphere.”

This is the story of Fox’s experiences on board the Achiever, the research vessel of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation. The Achiever’s survey voyages took place from 2005 to 2008; the goal was to collect baseline data on sea mammals and marine birds. Northern Fulmar, image courtesy of Peter Hodum.

We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds. Jonathan Elphick and John Fanshawe provided “specialist research” and support.” Cocker put out a call for people’s personal experiences with birds and people responded, over 600 people, most of who are credited in the Acknowledgements section.

As a librarian and women’s studies scholar, I greatly appreciate the research. And once in a while, there is a check-in on what was happening in the United States–the killing of a bird protection warden in the Everglades, investigations into millinery sweatshops, the earlier passage of bird protection legislation.

Found throughout South America in ever-dwindling numbers these extremely beautiful birds – threatened by habitat destruction and collection for the wild bird trade – are often difficult to see and hard to find. The experience is one of the ornithological highlights in the world. Chestnut-fronted Macaws Ara severa.

The Refuge has also become a place where people can experience and learn about wildlife and the places they call home, whether through self-guided discovery or by participating in one of our many educational programs. The refuge was established in 1958 to protect and enhance habitat for migratory birds.

En route they will be “birding in nearly every country in mainland North and South America,” and, as they say on their excellent blog , “Our journey is about collecting valuable data on bird species, their status and distribution, current conservation issues, and more along the way. But at last we were in El Triunfo!

Golf courses, swimming pools, restaurants and a diverse collection of accommodation options. Universities like Harvard, Columbia and Cornell regularly use the research facility. This is not a birding lodge. Far from it. In fact, many birders might be put off by the sheer size and scale of this operation. The proposal from U.S.

Dr. William Castelli, director of the study for the last 20 years, maintains that based on his research the most heart healthy diet is a pure vegetarian diet. Dr. Dean Ornish has also documented the heart-protective effects of plant-based diets, as has Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn of the Cleveland Clinic.
