In fact, it was considered extinct by many for almost a century before being rediscovered in 1990. Today, the night parrot is listed as critically endangered, but conservation work targeting it is burdened by a lack of knowledge about this elusive species. Its behaviour adds to the problem, as this small parrot inha

Most recently, it has also emerged as a reliable method in standardized breeding bird surveys, which is why the Planungsgruppe Grün GmbH, located in Oldenburg, Germany, decided to use it for their comprehensive surveys of breeding bird populations in northern Germany.

Project Outline Intact tropical forests have enormous value to both humans and wildlife. The forests of Gabon are no exception. Forests cover over 90% of the country and supply locals with subsistence (hunting) opportunities as well as supporting countless species, including the critically endangered for
