20:12 I live in the Vale do Ribeira, there was also a species of bird here called the Purple-winged Ground Dove (Paraclaravis geoffroyi), which has not been seen for 40 years.
Fascinating yet heartbreaking at the same time. The plight of the Bali Mynah as a result of human vanity is tragic - this species should be thriving in the wild but because they are in effect seen as a fashion item and status symbol, they are being treated more as lifestyle accessories than living creatures. It's great to see rare fungi being championed though - they are so often ignored.
@@all.about.nature1987 Fungi are so overlooked yet so vital to the planet. There must be lots similar to the one you covered that only survived in fragments of forest or even just a few trees and that have been lost forever.
@@all.about.nature1987 I love your videos. These are great, and I love to show my kids. So concise and distinctive. However, now my kids are a little sad, and blame themselves, even when non-human elements cause a species to go endangered. (Thanks propaganda) Have you considered doing the inverse for a video? When I was a kid, Bald Eagles and American Alligators were critically endangered. Now they're off the endangered species list altogether! There are more tigers in the wild in India than there have been in 100 years. There's a lot of good news out there, and I think a video highlighting "These 5 animals almost went extinct but made a full recovery" would be very cool.
@TM2DB hey thanks for the comment. Glad you guys are enjoying the videos. I have a series of videos on animals that have been saved and made recoveries. You'll find them on my page.
Everybody talks about endangered/extinct animals, but no one talks about plants or especially fungi of that kind. It’s sad how those types of species don’t get talked about more since they don’t have the same “humanity” we have. People really only save species that are more ‘attractive’. It’s also especially tragic for the birds… you know it’s over when the last of their habitat is going to get destroyed, especially since they come from a part of the world with little to no environmental awareness. This is the first time you’ve covered a fungi, right? Because that’s so awesome and rare to hear that sort of awareness. I actually did a school report on the Bali mynah! So glad to hear comprehensive information on it. It makes me so angry to see people treat birds this way; as someone who owns a bird, the unethical treatment of wild caught birds is so heartbreaking to me. This is why I only purchase birds through a breeder, and I make sure to buy birds that are labeled as least concern. P.S.- I hope you were able to see my comment on your previous video, because I can’t wait to see your reaction to it!
Will you make one day a video focused in endangered South American birds? There are so many like the Blue-eyed Ground Dove (20 in nature) and the Spix's Macaw (introduced in the wild 2022).
this fashion of keeping captive birds is also very prevalent in my country, India. Different species like the Indian ringed neck parakeet, Alexandrine parakeet, and so on, are kept as pets here, atlhough all of them are endangered. I had too few years ago, some passed away and some were freed. they cost about 5-12 dollars per pair depending on the species. i was guilt ridden and felt ashamed as soon as i realized about their status in the wild, and i still, that what i've done. I was a child back then and i'm very affectionate of animals that's why i couldn't have controlled myself from buying thenm as my birthday present.
Please, never stop doing what you’re doing. Your videos are so fascinating and very educational. I just can’t wait for the next Saturday to come so you would post another video ❤
I would love to see a video of rare species or unique micro ecosystems from major mountain ranges (Rockies, Appalachian, Alps, etc…) by country or eco-geographical region….
Are you a conservationist for your day job or something? Or is this purely a passion project for you? Because your ability to find scientific evidence and research about these animals is insane.

Might be the first time I've covered a fungus on the channel. It was about time

Yes!!!
Bali Myna is looks beautiful.
Could you do all species and subspecies of crocodilians????
Thank you for your video Great job
It's so important to protect these organisms!!

great video, ive been inpsired to do art

What about musk deer and blochi bear??
There is also Gobi bear which is only bear that lives in the desert and only 30 to 40 individuals left in gobi desert.
Hey man❤

Love when I hear China is on the bandwagon to promote conservation
It is so soul-crashing to see the condition of these species. There is no limitation of Human greed.☹️
