Back in 2022, researchers in Papua New Guinea, with the vital help of the local community, made an important rediscovery for wildlife conservation.
Through the use of camera traps, they recorded footage of a black-naped pheasant-pigeon.
Known locally as Auwo, this bird species that hadn't been seen by humans since its first discovery in 1882, some 140 years earlier.
Now, footage showing the moment of rediscovery, recorded by the researchers themselves, has gone viral four years later.
