Scientists Release List of 126 'Lost' Bird Species to Aid Conservation
The comprehensive list aims to identify bird species not documented for over a decade, focusing conservation efforts on rediscovery and protection.
- Researchers analyzed over 42 million records to identify bird species missing recent documentation.
- The list includes 126 bird species not seen or recorded in the past ten years.
- Citizen scientists and local communities are encouraged to help locate these 'lost' birds.
- The project involves global partnerships with organizations like Re:wild, American Bird Conservancy, and BirdLife International.
- Rediscoveries could provide crucial data for conservation strategies and prevent potential extinctions.
