俄勒冈动物园正在帮助恢复Sihek, 一只在野生中灭绝了近40年的鸟, 成功地将男性Siheks聚在一起居住, The Oregon Zoo is helping recover the sihek, a bird extinct in the wild for nearly 40 years, by successfully housing male siheks together—a breakthrough that defies their traditionally territorial nature. 这使其他设施有更多的育种配对,帮助了全球少于130只鸟类的人口。 This allows more breeding pairs at other facilities, aiding the global population of fewer than 130 birds. 2024年,9名弱肉动物在无掠食动物Palmyra环礁上被释放,他们在那里蓬勃发展,并可能已开始繁殖。 In 2024, nine siheks were released on predator-free Palmyra Atoll, where they are thriving and may have begun breeding. 在动物园的Vollum Avicial上,鸟类在夜间活动,猎杀昆虫,并与其他物种共存。 At the zoo’s Vollum Aviary, the birds are active at night, hunting insects, and coexisting with other species. 自然保护者认为这方面的进展是朝向未来野生重新引入的一个充满希望的步骤。 Conservationists view the progress as a hopeful step toward future wild reintroductions.
