Species are currently dying at such an alarming rate, some scientists have warned that we are on the verge of the sixth mass extinction in our planet’s history. It often seems like most conservation news is bad, which makes definite good news feel that much better. A species of bird has been spotted in Myanmar that has not been seen since 1941, and was presumed to have gone extinct. The re-discovery of the species was described in the journal BirdingASIA.
