Journal harley_frog's Journal: "Extinct" Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Rediscovered
For those of you who don't know, the Ivory-Billed woodpecker is one of the largest woodpeckers in the world, and was thought to have been extinct for over sixty years. Over the past decades, there have been reported, yet confirmed, sightings of the Ivory-Billed. The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker has become the symbol of the struggle to preserve nature and endangered and threatened species. Now, the confirmation that the Ivory-Billed is indeed still alive is a ray of hope that the environmental mistakes of the past can, with dedication and hard work, can be slowly turned back. Of course, this doesn't help species already lost to us, like the Carolina Parakeet, or the Passenger Pigeon, there is hope for others threatened birds, like the California Condor, the Peregrine Falcon, and the Whooping Crane.
I know this nothing tech related, but it is still very exciting and gives one hope for the future.
