Philipp Maleko was born in St. Petersburg, Russia but moved to Los Angeles, CA, US as a young boy. This drastic change from lush boreal to concrete jungles engrained in him the need to protect wilderness areas and the animals they support. Philipp received his Bachelor of Science at the University of California Davis studying Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. After a few years of gaining experience by working as a field technician throughout the U.S., Philipp revieved his Master of Science at the University of Florida studying the breeding ecology of Nordmann’s Greenshank and Common Redshank. |
About the Presentation :
Title: The Importance of Schaste Bay for Nordmann’s Greenshank and Common Redshank
As the EAAF is experiencing a rapid decline in waterbird abundance, the protection of key areas is critical. Schaste Bay, a coastal lagoon on Sea of Okhotsk coast, is one of these key areas. In particular it supports the nesting of Endangered Nordmann’s Greenshank, one of the rarest shorebirds in the world. Here a team of international ecologists studied their breeding phenology, nesting ecology, banded adults, tagged birds with GPS transmitters, and surveyed key areas. They also studied Common Redshank nesting habitat and how it may be impacted by anthropogenic activities.

Title: Research on Far Eastern Curlew in Indonesia
EKSAI Foundation has been doing the conservation for Far Eastern Curlew species since 2019. In 2019 EKSAI did the survey and workshop for local stakeholders focusing on Far Eastern Curlew species.
