Press release: Russia sentences internationally renowned waterbird specialist Dr Sofia Rosenfeld to 3.5 years imprisonment for donation to anti-corruption organisation
On 7 October 2026, a Moscow court sentenced Dr Sofia Rosenfeld, a Doctor of Biology at the Russian Academy of Sciences and an internationally renowned waterbird specialist, to 3.5 years imprisonment in a penal colony. Rosenfeld is widely internationally connected through her work on migratory waterbirds and saw her involved in numerous scientific cooperation projects. Her work is critical to the conservation of species migrating along several flyways, the annual migratory pathways of billions of birds. Because Russia is the breeding ground for many of these species, Rosenfeld’s work is of vital importance for conservation of these shared species across Asia, Oceania, Africa, and Europe.
