This will not be easy since piping plovers are in direct competition with people for open sand or pebble beaches particularly in June or July when young birds are active. The little piping plover is involved in an immense struggle to survive as a species. Please do not let the piping plover join the Great Auk and Labrador Duck, two birds once found in the province but which are now just pictures in a book. Given sufficient time, animals can develop strategies to protect themselves from natural enemies and can adapt to changes in their environment. However, adapting to the rapid environmental changes caused mostly by people is very difficult for many animals.
Humans are everywhere, and they take choice habitat.
In these cases it is up to people to change. We need to develop a responsibility to our fellow creatures who share this planet with us. We should be able to realize the benefit of living in harmony, sharing available natural resources with the birds, animals and plants of the earth. They have so much to offer us. We can use many directly for food, clothing and medicines but perhaps even more important is the enrichment they give to our souls.
