Years of hard work are finally paying off for the white-winged flufftail, one of the world’s rarest birds! Conservationists in South Africa are celebrating as the bird’s status just got bumped from “critically endangered” to “endangered.” The secret? Tech like camera traps and acoustic monitoring revealed more birds than anyone expected. But don’t get too comfy—wetland loss is still a huge threat. Proof that local action really can make a difference! #Science #ConservationWin #RareBirds
