Ivory-billed Woodpecker of North America , a victim of ruthless habitat destruction was once found extremely largely in the thick and muddy forests of southeastern United States. It is the biggest specie in woodpecker loved ones which is listed as critically endangered and possibly extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
This bird was badly impacted by deforestation since it needs a lot of personal space for mating and reproduction. Each pair historically needed around 25 square kilometres to survive, with the majority of these areas being in the south, from east Texas to North Carolina, from southern Illinois to Florida and Cuba. Because they drill into dead trees to look for wood-boring beetle larvae, the ivory-billed woodpeckers’ primary food source, they need old-growth woods with access to mature trees and water.
Their homes were severely reduced, which resulted in fierce competition for the little amount of available space. These woodpeckers also made good hunting trophies since they are huge, stunning birds. This species was unable to rebound from deforestation, hunting, and poor reproductive rates as a result of tiny clutch sizes (the number of eggs deposited), and it finally went extinct. Fortunately, there is a lot of interest in these birds, and both bird watchers and campaigners for endangered species hope to see this bird recovered during our lifetimes.
