Red Knot Shorebirds Face Extinction by RoseWrites T-Shirt

After researching the Zika virus extensively and publishing "Birds as Reservoir Hosts of Zika: What You Are Not Being Told" on InfoBarrel (under my pen name, RoseWrites), I decided to create products to support Zika research and/or shorebird conservation efforts. When I learned that Red Knot populations have been declining since 2006 and chicks have become smaller with even shorter bills, my immediate thought was that Wolbachia-infected Aedes mosquito releases (carried out in Brazil and other places) are at the root of this. By selling this T-shirt, I hope special interest groups, birders, and wildlife lovers can help scientists discover why shorebird populations are crashing and find a way to help them recover. P.S. I will donate 50 percent of my royalties from every sale of this shirt in support of Zika research and/or shorebird conservation efforts. Front photo credit: Don Henise on flickr (CC-by-2.0).
