Why it matters
The Jos Plateau Indigobird is a remarkable species endemic to a small region in central Nigeria, where its survival is closely tied to the rocky outcrops of the Jos Plateau. It is highly prized by ornithologists and bird enthusiasts for its status as a habitat specialist and its unique role as a brood parasite, relying entirely on the Rock Firefinch to raise its young.
