For the first time ever, a living New Britain bronzewing dove has been photographed. 📸🕊️

An international team of researchers, including Joe Wood, Toledo Zoo's Manager of International Conservation Programs, and Jason Gregg and Ethan Linck from Montana State University, recently confirmed the existence of this elusive bird in a remote region of Papua New Guinea. The species was considered lost to western science for more than half a century, having been last documented in 1972.

The team obtained clear photographs of the female bird. These are the first known images of a living New Britain bronzewing.

The expedition was funded by the Toledo Zoo through its support of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC) Pigeon and Dove Specialist Group, which the Zoo hosts.

The discovery is an important step toward understanding and protecting the species, and highlights the impact of global conservation partnerships. It also would not have been possible without the knowledge and partnership of the Arowe people, who have long known the bird as "Kau."

From northwest Ohio to rainforests around the world, Toledo Zoo conservation efforts are helping protect wildlife and advance scientific understanding of species that need it most.
