EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing steel engraving by F. Kearney, taken from Oliver Goldsmith's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published in Edinburgh in 1835, captures the unique and fascinating trio of extinct and endangered birds: the Dodo (Raptus cucullatus), Ostrich (Struthio camelus, and Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius). The Dodo, a flightless bird native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, is depicted in the foreground, with its distinctive round body, large beak, and featherless wings. This bird, which became extinct around the late 17th century, was likely hunted to extinction by humans and their introduced animals. In the middle ground, the Ostrich, the world's largest living bird, can be seen with its long neck, powerful legs, and distinctive feathers. Native to Africa, the Ostrich is still found in the wild today, but its populations are threatened by habitat loss and poaching for its feathers and eggs. In the background, the Cassowary, a large, flightless bird native to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia, is shown with its distinctive helmet-like casque and wattles. This bird is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss, hunting, and road accidents. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it, both those that have been lost to extinction and those that are still with us but face threats to their survival.
