•  Info created by JJ Harrison - uploaded by JJ Harrison - nominated by JJ Harrison Both subspecies of the Hooded Plover are classified as Endangered. There are about 3000 of this subspecies left. The habit of laying eggs on the edges of beaches in the summer months is the main cause - the same beaches are often popular for dog and human recreation, often resulting in trampled eggs. Fortunately Tasmania, at least, has plenty of largely abandoned/inaccessible beaches. -- JJ Harrison (talk) 23:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
