Endemic birds are species that are native to a specific geographic area and are not found naturally anywhere else in the world. These birds have evolved in isolation, often adapting to unique environmental conditions and habitats. For example, the Kākāpō is an endemic parrot from New Zealand that has developed distinct characteristics suited to its island home. The conservation of endemic birds is crucial, as they can be vulnerable to habitat loss and invasive species. Protecting their natural habitats helps maintain biodiversity and ensures that these unique species, like the California Condor or Himalayan Monal, continue to thrive in their native regions.
