#Shorebirds such as 'teenage' Hudsonian Godwit rely on South America's pampas grasslands that are threatened by soy production (mostly for animal feed).
More about Hudsonian Godwits:

More about the soy issue - follow thread from @_HannahRitchie
#waders
Soy is one of the leading drivers of deforestation.
People often think of soy milk, tofu & similar products. But these make up only 4% of soy consumption.
More than three-quarters (77%) of global soy goes to animal feed.
