A short paper from an international team of ornithologists has provided a comprehensive update on the plight of the Critically Endangered Yellow-breasted Bunting, which suggests that there is cause for optimism for the imperilled species.
The dramatic decline observed in this once super-abundant bunting attracted worldwide media attention when the shocking findings of a major study were published in 2015. An estimated 95% of its entire population had disappeared in just two to three decades, along with a range contraction of around 5,000 km, placing it at severe risk of extinction.
