@@Ryodraco as I mention at the beginning of the video, the maps and data points are from the IUCN assessments. Doing individualized research for over 100 species to find the most accurate guess of 2024 population size would have taken days, so it was all pulled directly from the most recent assessment, some of which haven't been done in years. If you check out the IUCN Red List website you can double check any of the populations you disagree with.
@@all.about.nature1987 Apologies, I actually went back and checked before my initial comment and somehow still missed the IUCN sourcing part. It's just concerning when a dour topic like this gives numbers that are worse than they actually are.
The majority are actually probably better than they actually are today. The kakapo is one of the few species on this list with an actual conservation plan. The EDGE website also shows an assessment of how well these species are being protected, and many of them aren't.
Thank you for this beautiful channel! I always feel bottomless sadness to see how many species are about to disappear. Hopefully as many people as possible will see your videos and maybe together we could make the change. ❤
I hope that these birds become more publicly known, since species tend to get more support if they're popular (it's very messed up, but it's an effective way to help many endangered species).
Thank you so much for your videos, i keep learning so much about our amazing world. Video request: video about beavers! Such amazing history and behavior. You could talk about the martinez beavers, their relationship with muskrats, and how detailed their dam/lodge building process is. Thanks again for this amazing channel
Yeah i hope so too, but unfortunatly, most of the species that have less than 100 specimens are are in a decreasing trend, probably are gonna go extinct in the near future, which is a bad thing.
6:05 why is an animal with a population of over 100,000 considered critically endangered when there are others in the hundreds or thousands that are only considered vulnerable or endangered?
I think one of the overlooked problems is deforestation inside cities itself. If we don't do our level best to have any available piece of soil teeming with native plants, it doesn't even give birds chance to adapt to urbanisation. People are cutting down trees left and right in South Africa even in gardens, despite record breaking heat waves. Where do birds go?
Absolutely. Some bird species have showed to adapt to urban ecosystems with different degrees of success. With a "wilder" urbanization model we can increase the numbers of animals that can coexist with human inside cities, but if we really build castles of glass, steel and cement only very few species will thrive in them. Usually the ones used to mountainous areas. (Pigeons say hi)
Thats not a Madagascar Serpent-Eagle Eutriorchis astur on 9:35, i think on the picture is a Crested Serpent-Eagle (Crested) Spilornis cheela from South Asia. Nice content by the way
I hopefully they will be start a breeding Centre for All endangered/critically endangered Birds So that we can Start to see more Of them after they are released back to the wild.
1:56 Is there some specific criteria given for the population numbers and when they were compiled? Like does it only count wild individuals? Only adults? There have been over a 150 Kakapo living at a time since 2016, with the current population being 252 birds. Other confusing numbers are for the sociable lapwing. Everything I'm finding say that while they are decreasing, the population is still in the thousands, not around fifty.
@@Ryodraco thanks for the question. As stated at the beginning of the video, only the numbers given by the IUCN in their last assessment were used for the video. Sometimes the IUCN specifies that it is "mature" birds only, and sometimes the assessments are out of date.
Fantastic work mate If you ever need to talk to someone in the biology field feel free to ask me. I have contacts in many fields and am happy to discuss the threats our natural world faces
I know there isn’t al lot of hope for a large percentage of these poor birds but I hope we can save as many species as possible times not on our side 😢
In fact the slender-billed curlew has been declared extinct last month :'( This is the first bird from the european mainland to be extinct because of human causes. A century ago it lived in the area I live now...
Can you do a similar video but with reptiles. They oftentimes do not get enough love and I feel it is important to save them since they are majestic creatures.
This is so incredibly sad and sad to see so many species are in a decreasing trend, which doesn't bode well for species with less than 200 specimen left. I fear those are surely going to go extinct, but i hope thats not the case. So far having only seen 4 species that are in an upwards spiral, which isn't a good thing either (I mean that in that only 4 are in the upward spiral not being a good thing). The ones that are stable are a good sign they can improve, but at the same time its also a bad sign that they can decline.
These assessments deal with population trends as much as population numbers. So if a species recently had a million in their population, but they have suddenly decreased by 90%, that would qualify them as being in danger of extinction, especially if they are losing critical habitat. Meanwhile, a species that has consistently sat at around 1000 because it only lives on one tiny island, but it continues to flourish there with no threats, it could be listed as Least Concern.
İ have a suggestion about All Extinct Frog species because many anthropogenic problems,other problems and a species of Chytrid Fungus (Division: Chytridiomycota) belongs in genus *Batrachochytridium (2 Species,other is B.salamandirvorans).*
Common sense. If local people are involved in the conservation process and able to work _with_ organizations and support their families, it's better than outsiders coming in and telling them they can't hunt/fish in their own ancestral lands, without caring how they're supposed to get food if they can't do it the way they used to.
As of 2024 the Kākāpō number is 244. They're all counted, tracked, and have names.
Yeah, a fair number of these population numbers in the video are confusing. I don't understand where he got them from.

I know these videos take a lot of work, but they are my favorite. Thanks for the hard work!
These birds are amazing! Thank you so much for giving us all this information about these wonderful animals before they disappear.
Thank you for this beautiful channel! I always feel bottomless sadness to see how many species are about to disappear. Hopefully as many people as possible will see your videos and maybe together we could make the change. ❤
New Caledonia is just amazing, despite it's just a small island it's so diverse
I hope that these birds become more publicly known, since species tend to get more support if they're popular (it's very messed up, but it's an effective way to help many endangered species).
Agreed! The Spix Macaw had that happen to them due to the animated film Rio
Beautiful tribute to these precious creatures!
4:20 I think I just found my spirit animal. Sure hope it sticks around though...
Thank you so much for your great work. Greetings from Germany.
So sad to see all these wonderful birds hanging barely on from human impact with no place to hide
We humans really are the worst sometimes. 😡
beautiful video. So encouraging to see a few of these trending upwards in population. It takes a lot of work to make that happen
The fact that there’s more decreasing populations than increasing populations is sad
And it's all our fault too. 😢
Thankyou for this video! We'll make sure to add all the ones not already considered to our protection and rewilding project!
Interesting info! Thank you for sharing!
First! Great video as always!!!

I so sincerely hope some of these birds can recover and be rediscovered, such as the javan lapwing.

Agreed. Urbanization using native species in gardens and maintaining large tracts of green space can have a major positive impact.

im not crying you're crying
ok maybe im crying a little
Thank you for your video
I missed your narration.
Storm petrels feature heavily.
Well, actually there are around 10 thousand (!) sociable lapwings left, not less than 50.
Slender-billed Curlew was just marked extinct yesterday
What?!?! 😱
RIP 😢
this is a realy good vid
I hopefully they will be start a breeding Centre for All endangered/critically endangered Birds So that we can Start to see more Of them after they are released back to the wild.
Super video
I love videos like this, but they make me feel so sad. I’ll have to finish this video some other time.
Trend: decreasing
I can't. We destroy this planet every day 😢
It's so awful. 😢
As a bird lover, this video both makes me incredibly sad and fills me with rage at the same time. 😢 😡

surprised non of the three Cassowary species were listed... especially the Southern one is endangered 😢
I wish you added asir magpie
But anyway still a great video
You should make a video on North American native species of fish that are very few left in the wild
Can you do a similar video but with reptiles. They oftentimes do not get enough love and I feel it is important to save them since they are majestic creatures.
Can you do the same thing with the fish?

100 birds edge.....
At the End of 2024 the slender-billed curlew is Now EXTINCT. An another European Bird extinct...
Alala crow in Hawaii.
Last five Alala crow three female and two male
"Wild the extinct"
Dec 4 2024 alala crow five last.
"Diverse conservation leaders.... equity and justice."
Is this an animal conservation group or a DEI trojan horse? 😆
Common sense.
