This is the best summary I could come up with:
A species of small holly tree last seen nearly two centuries ago has been rediscovered in Brazil and scientists say it is an “incredible find”.
But it was recently found in the urban city of Igarassu, in Pernambuco state, by an expedition that spent six days exploring the region in the hope of locating the species.
This list is put together from the more than 2,200 missing species across 160 countries and was compiled by Re:wild and experts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) .
“It seemed that the world had stopped turning its gears,” project team member Juliana Alencar said in a statement.
The team is hoping to organize additional searches with other local partners to find more individuals of the species,” according to Re:wild.
“The goal is to collaborate with partners to better protect the forests where the Pernambuco Holly was found and establish a captive breeding program for the tree.”
