11 of the world's most threatened species are birds...

The World's 100 most threatened species is a compilation of the most threatened animals, plants and fungi in the world.  It was the result of a collaboration between over 8,000 scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC) along with the Zoological Society of London.   The report was published by the Zoological Society of London in 2012 as the book, Priceless or Worthless?   11 of the 100 species were birds.  Below are the names and photos of those 11 species of birds.
