2011-08-31 Liben Lark - thrown a lifeline.
The Liben Lark - Heteromirafra sidamoensis – Endemic to Ethiopia has a population of
possibly fewer than 100 birds and is classified as Critically Endangered. This threatened
bird has now been thrown a lifeline thanks to funds raised by the British
Birdwatching Fair held at Rutland Water last August. A cheque of £242,000 or $395,000 was presented to
Dr Marco Lambertini, BirdLife International’s Chief Executive. |
