昆士兰州Pullen Pullen特别野生生物保护区首次拍摄了世界上最难捉摸的鸟类之一,即稀有的夜鹦鹉,这是一个重要的养护里程碑。 A rare Night Parrot, one of the world’s most elusive birds, was photographed for the first time at Pullen Pullen Special Wildlife Reserve in Queensland, marking a significant conservation milestone. 这些照片由Maiawali乡村的远程摄像头拍摄, 属于少数被拍摄的濒危物种Pezoporus occidentalis, 这些物种在2013年重新发现之前已经损失了一个多世纪了。 The images, captured by a remote camera on Maiawali Country, are among the few ever taken of the critically endangered species, Pezoporus occidentalis, which was thought lost for over a century before its 2013 rediscovery. 据专家估计,总人口为低至中百人,在任何时候只有几十人可以检测到。 Experts estimate the total population is in the low to mid-hundreds, with only tens detectable at any time. 鸟儿的夜夜、地底居住习惯和迷彩使研究变得极其困难,因此研究人员依靠的是录音和罕见的视觉数据。 The bird’s nocturnal, ground-dwelling habits and camouflage make it extremely difficult to study, so researchers rely on sound recordings and rare visual data. 9月5日,该物种的地位升级为濒危物种,不是因为突然下降,而是因为检测方法的改进暴露了其本已脆弱的状态。 The species’ status was upgraded to critically endangered on September 5, not due to a sudden decline, but because improved detection methods revealed its already fragile state. 观察带来了希望,并突出表明需要不断保护其偏远干旱生境。 The sighting offers hope and underscores the need for ongoing protection of its remote arid habitat.
