Are the World’s Rediscovered Species Back from the Brink?

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Corri Baker

Every year, many species considered disappeared are rediscovered. Yet, do these rediscoveries signify the return of ‘viable populations or the delayed extinction of doomed species’? With rampant degradation and habitat loss, research is vital for conservation and residual biological diversity and is often undertaken to rediscover species believed to be extinct. A study undertaken on […]
