In this collection of art by cartoonist Steadman, the focus is not on the birds that are gone, but on the ones that there is still time left to save. These are the 192 critically endangered birds on the IUCN Red List, species such as the Giant Ibis, the Kakapo, the Sumatran Ground-cuckoo and the iconic Spoon-billed Sandpiper. Along with a number of classic Steadman creations such as the Unsociable Lapwing, these are the Nearly-Extinct Boids.
