Sadly, the list of species that went #extinct due to human influence has been expanded by one entry: The #SlenderBilledCurlew, a migratory #bird once native to Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula, has been officially declared extinct.
Recently, however, there also have been some good news regarding the #conservation of #endangered #birds, such as the rediscovery of the #NightParrot and the #JerdonsCourser.
So, it's not impossible that the enigmatic slender-billed curlew might still have survived somewhere - regardless, my heart bleeds for any #animal facing #extinction because of humans, and it will take an active effort to prevent more species from suffering this fate.
