Between the Song and the Silence: German Extinct or Threatened Bird Species
Please note that species on this list directly relate to species I am selecting for a place-specific (Berlin, Germany) performance I am currently creating. It is by no means complete or exhaustive, but merely provides information on species which I am currently investigating for inclusion in the performance piece Between the Song and the Silence.
For general information on globally threatened species, I would recommend the site of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, specifically the ICUN Red List of Threatened Species: http://www.iucnredlist.org/
