A hard-working conservation coordinator has nailed a metaphorical wanted poster to the wall of the eBird app as they turn to the global birdwatching hobby to find 10 majestic bird species lost to science.

Called The Search for Lost Birds, it’s a partnership between Re:wild, American Bird Conservation, BirdLife International, and the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology and their eBird app which has more than 700,000 users worldwid—and who in total have logged more than a billion bird sightings.

Re:wild used to be called the Global Wildlife Conservation, and created a much-publicized list of the “25 Most Wanted” lost species a few years ago. Building on successes that saw them find six of the 25 within just three years, including through expeditions to far-off Somalia, Vietnam, Madagascar, and the Indonesian island of North Moluccas—they are now launching “Top 10” lists for each animal group.
