Abstract
When biologist Christy Hand first came to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) in 2011, she had never heard of the black rail; almost no one in South Carolina had. Understanding the rare, disappearing marsh bird quickly became one of the centerpieces of her career – and in time, she established one of the country’s foremost research and conservation programs for black rails. Now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has honored her work with a 2023 Recovery Champion award.
