Two Ways to Help: |
|
Donations help support Ploverville's outreach and goals to get important answers about Piping Plover migration and life cycle mysteries. Where do they go? Why do some go missing and never make it back to the Great Lakes? This project aims to help find out by supporting the use of telemetry on birds. Each tiny chip will tell researchers what habitat needs most protected, what dangers they may face, and where their migration routes are. By supporting this film and our goals, you are helping to save a critically endangered population!
