New bird species identified!
This doesn’t happen as often as you might think. A new bird species has been identified in India! While finding new insects or bacteria isn’t uncommon, finding new larger animals is very rare. Why? Lots of reasons. First is that humans have been almost everywhere. Next is that, well, animals are running out of places to be. New species that are found now tend to be pretty rare. Rare species are easy to miss and easy to wipe out before even being found. If this isn’t a good reason for conservation, I don’t know what is.
