Search for Lost Species – Lost but not forgotten
Description: We are going to the ends of the Earth in the largest-ever quest to find and conserve wildlife lost to science.
Welcome to the Search for Lost Species, where we look for plants, animals and fungi that have been lost to science for at least 10 years—sometimes hundreds of years. All is not lost. We can protect and restore our planet.
The most wanted lost species list is a subset of the more than 2,200 lost species across 160 countries that Re:wild has compiled in collaboration with more than 100 experts from the IUCN Species Survival Commission’s specialist groups. Lost species are those that have been lost to science for at least 10 years—and often much longer.
In 2017, Re:wild started a global quest to find its 25 most wanted lost species—and since then, Team Re:wild has found EIGHT. That’s right. More than 1/3 of a list of animals and plants scientists feared lost have been FOUND.
