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.
