The global Search for Lost Birds partnership between americanbirdconservancy,
birdlife.international, and rewild works to understand and find species of birds that are lost to science. This means that at least 10 years have passed since a confirmed sighting with photographs or sound recordings. Across the planet, 121 bird species haven’t been seen in over a decade. They aren’t confirmed Extinct — just lost!
🌍 Together, we’re combining the power of science, data, and community to find these species before it’s too late. Because every lost species rediscovered isn’t just a story of survival — it’s a chance to rewild the future. 💚 Learn more - link in bio!
