The LIFE Godwit Flyway project is primarily intended to implement measures that improve the habitats of the focus species in Natura 2000 areas. Accompanying scientific studies determine whether the measures have achieved the desired success.
Black-tailed Godwits equipped with GPS transmitters (as part of long-term research projects or currently via the LIFE IP GrassBirdHabitats) support the location of unknown wintering areas in hardly explored regions of West Africa. This will help to select sites to implement measures for habitat improvement in the framework of this project.
Further scientific investigations or studies must be financed outside of this LIFE project.
