The research
Leontien and Lisanne had an important contribution to a 2-year study on migratory harriers on the Waza- Logone floodplains in northern Cameroon. Overall, the results showed an important effect of land use on foraging by harriers, which raises concerns about wintering populations of Palearctic harriers in the Sahel.
