John Lamaris, a PhD candidate at Monash University, found the kingfisher while conducting research in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea.
Recent findings suggest that a bird once deemed "the least-known bird species in the world" may not be a distinct species.
Sadly, not all searches end in rediscovery. When is it time to conclude that a lost bird is gone forever and why is proving extinction so important for conservation?
We strive to understand and promote species of birds that are currently ‘lost’, meaning that at least 10 years have passed since they were last confirmed by photographs, sound recordings, or physical documentation. The Search for Lost Birds is a global partnership between American Bird Conservancy, Re:wild, and BirdLife International.
