Saving Spoonie
Synopsis
Spoonie, the spoon-billed sandpiper, would have long since gone extinct without Dr. Christoph Zöckler and a tight-knit group of international ornithologists. As if that werenât bad enough, the migration route of this sparrow-sized wading birdâwith its peculiar spoon-shaped billâruns from Russia through North Korea and China all the way to Myanmar, passing through several of the worldâs crisis regions of the past decade. The work of the task force is therefore also a political challenge. It requires diplomatic sensitivity in coordinating with the countries along the flyway. In the tragicomic story of Spoonieâs fate, the struggle for threatened biodiversity in an increasingly fragile world is reflected.
