Reminder: Pablo Canevari Award Nominations due 15 March 2010

Pablo Canevari (1951-2000)

Every two years, Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences presents an award of US$2,000 to an individual or organization from Latin America that demonstrates an outstanding commitment to shorebird conservation – much the way Pablo Canevari did until his sudden death in 2000. Pablo, a former WHSRN Director, is remembered for his extraordinary dedication to and passion for the conservation of shorebirds throughout his career and life. Likewise, the Award in his honor recognizes and supports exemplary work in the field of shorebird conservation.

As we mentioned in our December 2009 issue, nominations of an individual or organization for the 2010 Award are due no later than 15 March 2010. The winner will be announced in mid-April.
