Sumatran Ground-cuckoo Carpococcyx viridis

The Sumatran Ground Cuckoo, a reclusive bird endemic to Sumatra’s dense forests who captivate with their distinctive iridescent plumage. They lived peacefully in the rainforest until its decimation over the past several decades for palm oil took its toll on populations – they are now critically endangered. Fewer than 250 mature individuals remain, and their population is declining. Immediate conservation efforts are critical. These stunning birds symbolise the fragile and rich biodiversity of Sumatra’s montane rainforests. Take action and use your wallet as a weapon every time you shop, #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
