The endangered Forbes’s blackbird, scientifically named the Anumara forbesi, stimulated the effort to restore the Brazilian Rain Forest. Anita Studer began the program to save the Pedra Talhada Forest as she wanted to study the endangered bird. A large cause of the endangerment of the bird was its habitat destruction. To prevent further decline in the blackbird population, she helped preserve the forest. Studer recruited donors and established the Geneva-based Nordesta Reforestation and Education Association. Her program helps tree-growing operations, the spread of environmental awareness,and education projects. The endangered bird study directly correlates with our current topic of study in class. Overall, the initiative taken by Anita Studer is significant to the environment because deforestation and the endangerment of certain species are both large areas of concern for all of us. Deforestation is habitat destruction which is a large cause of the endangerment of many other species as well. I believe that the forest restoration will be extremely beneficial in restoring the populations of the endangered birds. It is important to prevent further endangerment of species in order to maintain a balanced food web.
