We're living in the midst of the sixth great extinction event of our planet, with species being depleted left and right. Every once in a while, however, we're able to reverse a tiny bit of that damage, and when we do, the results can be spectacular. Enjoy this video footage shared by the Association for the Conservation of Threatened Parrots from Caatinga, Brazil. Spix's macaw, one of the world's rarest birds, once extinct in the wild, is now once again flying free in Brazil! (Want to learn more about the saga of this imperiled parrot? Check out this book!)
