In this video the Red Knot mascot for our campaign in San Antonio Bay, Argentina and Rare staffers get community members to start dancing. The mascot and staffers are working to raise awareness of the need for habitat protection for the Red Knot.

Our campaign will protect a stopover site for endangered birds by working with communities to create and regulate specialized trails for 4×4 vehicles in order to reduce human intrusion in the site. The Red Knot mascot helps raise awareness for the Red Knot and its habitat.

In early March 2010, Rare hosted a trip with our partner Manomet to San Antonio Oeste, Argentina.  There are three campaign sites in Argentina, each of which is focused on preserving the habitat of the migratory Red Knot shorebird: Costa Atlantica, Tierra del Fuego, Estuary Rio Gallegos, Santa Cruz and the site we visited, San Antonio
