Josh Bergmark tells the story of visiting Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, to find the lost Bougainville Thicketbird and nearly-lost Moustached Kingfisher.
Last documented in 1995, the lost shorebird is the first extinction of a bird species from mainland Europe according to a new study.
Photographs taken in August 2024 are the first documented records of this rarely-seen species in 11 years.
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.
