The Florida Grasshopper Sparrow (FGSP), North America's most endangered bird, teeters on the edge of extinction, with perhaps as few as 10 pairs left in the wild. This ground-nesting songbird, endemic to central Florida's dry prairie, is a sentinel species for an ecosystem in peril. Habitat conversion, climate change, fire ants, environmental contaminants and disease have driven the sparrow's collapse over the past two decades. Captive breeding is now the only option to avert extinction and garner hope for long-term recovery, much like the California condor effort of 40 years ago.
The @RareSpec Conservatory Foundation and @WhiteOakConservation Center hold the only captive birds, totaling 50. An aggressive campaign is underway to generate critical support, before the FGSP follows behind the Dusky Seaside Sparrow as yet another North American songbird lost forever.
