Ancient art, lost species, survival crashes, and daring hunts — these discoveries rewrite what it means to be human. From Africa to America, our origins are stranger and older than imagined.

Photographer Captures First-Ever Image of Bird of Prey ‘Lost’ for 55 Years https://petapixel.com/2024/09/16/rare-lost-bird-of-prey-new-britain-goshawk-is-photographed-for-the-first-time-ever/ #wildlifephotography #birdphotographer #lostspecies #Spotlight #News

#LostSpecies are those that have not been observed in the wild for over 10 years, despite searches to find them. Lost #tetrapod #species (four-limbed #vertebrate animals including #amphibians, #birds, #mammals and #reptiles) are a global phenomenon—there are more than 800 of them, and they are broadly distributed worldwide.
But, we are losing tetrapod species at a faster rate than we are rediscovering them, researchers say https://phys.org/news/2024-01-tetrapod-species-faster-rediscovering.html

1/2 #LostSpecies vanish like a #cigarette. This was my first connotation when I discovered some #vintage cigarette boxes for my #BiodiversityShrines. Inspired by ancient #klosterarbeiten, they contain fantasy species, precious materials like #perlage and "civilisation" #waste. The realistic #PaperArt #butterfly sits on #wire found in a flowerless meadow. #BiodiversityLoss My #shrines are a project for an exhibition in October. #mixedmedia #ArtInABox #assemblageArt #artActivism #embroidery
