IWSG Small Grant Winner announced | The IWSG Small Grant Committee
We are happy to announce the latest winner of the IWSG Small Projects Grant, Juan Andres Milicich.
In a very strong field of applications, we thought thi stood out. His project “Unveiling Migration Patterns: A First Insight into the Breeding and Wintering Movements of the Andean Lapwing Vanellus resplendens in Northern Argentina” aims to provide an initial description of several life history strategies of Andean Lapwing, a poorly known shorebird distributed along the Andes of South America. This project hope to learn about their altitudinal migration and breeding and wintering distribution range through the deployment of GPS devices.
Congratulations to Juan!
