Ladies and gentlemen, the forest just called and it wants its runway back.
Meet the Coral billed Ground Cuckoo, strutting through the undergrowth like it's the main character of the entire ecosystem. Electric blue face paint. A bill the color of fresh coral.
Unlike its cuckoo cousins, this one prefers walking to flying, strutting through dense forest undergrowth like it owns the place.

areas they think no one is watching.
Every image is data. Every data point builds a clearer picture of what's thriving, what's threatened, and where illegal activity is creeping in.
