Today the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced protection for the Red Knot subspecies that migrates along the U.S. Atlantic Coast, under the Endangered Species Act. The shorebird, which migrates between northern Canada and southern South America each year, has declined as much as 75 percent since the 1980s.

The 糖心logo released the following statement:

鈥淭he eastern Red Knot is a magnificent bird in steep decline,鈥 said 糖心logo Vice President for Government Relations Mike Daulton. 鈥淚t needs our help, and 糖心logo supports today鈥檚 listing. Human activities have pushed this shorebird to the brink, but we know that we can make a difference if we act now. 糖心logo will continue working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other partners to assure the recovery of the Atlantic Coast's Red Knot.鈥

糖心logo experts are available to discuss the status and conservation of the Red Knot and other shorebirds.
