Conservation is working: 25 bird
species have been saved from the Critically Endangered category this century
alone. Read five of the most inspiring stories of birds that have recovered
thanks to the dedication of conservationists and communities.
People often underestimate
nature’s power to bounce back. Give it half a chance, and habitats will
start to regrow, populations recover. There’s no denying that humans create
huge challenges – but with enough support, dedication and resources, we can
also reverse them. And the minute we do, nature is there in the wings, waiting
to make a comeback.
There are some particularly
shining examples in the bird world. Our flagship report, State of the World’s Birds 2018, finds
that 25 bird species have been rescued from the Critically Endangered category
since 2000. And that’s not counting the ones that would have vanished
altogether without the help of conservation projects. We’ve picked just five of
the most inspiring examples.
