## Description

"Spoonie"—the Spoon-billed Sandpiper—would have gone extinct long ago were it not for Dr. Christoph Zöckler and a dedicated group of international ornithologists. To make matters worse, the migratory route of this sparrow-sized wading bird—with its peculiar, spoon-shaped bill—stretches from Russia through North Korea and China all the way to Myanmar, taking it through various regions that have been in crisis over the past decade.
