SUMMARY:The science of saving a species – black-tailed godwits in the UK
   - Dr Jen Smart\, RSPB
DTSTART:20191022T170000Z

CONTACT:Dr Rosalyn Wade
DESCRIPTION:Find out how we go about discovering the problems faced by thr
 eatened species\, how we are using a range of exciting and novel conservat
 ion techniques to help this species and to hear about progress during the 
 first three years. Project Godwit is a five year project funded by EU Life
  and the Heritage Lottery Fund.   \n\nBlack-tailed godwits are a beautiful
  ground nesting wading bird that are dependent on wetlands. With a declini
 ng population of fewer than 50 breeding pairs\, Project Godwit is an ambit
 ious RSPB and Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust project that aims to prevent thi
 s species from becoming extinct in the UK. Dr Jen Smart is a Principal Con
 servation Scientist at the RSPB Centre for Conservation Science. Her resea
 rch focuses on the ecology of breeding waders and developing conservation 
 solutions to reverse their severe population declines. Increasingly this i
 nvolves understanding and managing the impacts of predation and finding wa
 ys to influence landscape-scale management of wet grasslands.
