Why it matters
The Javan Lapwing is a sobering example of the fragility of island ecosystems, as it has not been reliably sighted in its native Java since the 1940s. Collectors and ornithologists prize historical specimens of this bird for their distinctive broad wings and pointed tails, which remain vital for understanding the taxonomy of this likely extinct species.
