‘Extinct’ bird rediscovered in Afghanistan’s mountains
Afghanistan’s fledging conservation agency moved on Sunday to protect one of the world’s rarest birds after the species wasrediscovered in the war-ravaged country’s northeast. The remote Pamir Mountains are the only known breeding area of the largebilled reed warbler, a species so elusive that it had been documented only twice before in more than a century.
A researcher with the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society stumbled upon the tiny bird in 2008 and taped its distinctive song. Later, a research teamcaught and released 20 of the birds — the largest number ever recorded. On Sunday, Afghanistan’s National Environment Protection Agency added the large-billed reed warbler to its list of protected species.
