摘要

Two whimbrels were shot by hunters in September 2011 on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, highlighting the continuing lack of protection for migratory shorebirds. The whimbrels had been monitored as part of a 4-year tracking study and were killed within a few hours of their arrival on the island. Many other migratory shorebird species pass over the Caribbean region and when they encounter severe hurricanes and tropical storms seek refuge on Guadeloupe. But the island's isolated mangrove swamps serve to concentrate the migratory birds in large numbers, where they are hunted by unregulated shooting clubs. Although Guadeloupe is an overseas departement of France, in common with other French, British and Dutch territories in the Caribbean, it is not covered by the European Birds and Habitats Directives or the Natura 2000 network. However, the whimbrel deaths have sparked calls for regulation of shorebird hunting in the Caribbean where European nature directives do not apply.
