Why it matters
The Red Knot is a remarkable long-distance migrant, known for undertaking one of the most arduous journeys in the animal kingdom as it travels between Arctic breeding grounds and wintering sites in the Southern Hemisphere. Ornithologists and birders prize the species for its complex life history and its dependence on specific coastal stopover sites, which makes the bird a vital indicator of ecosystem health across its vast global range.
