The last free-living blue macaw in the world lives in Brazil, but has been missing for two months. If not found, the species is at risk of extinction.
Nicknamed Severino, the bird inhabits the region of Curuçá, in the backlands of Bahia. According to the coordination of the Spix's Macaw Recovery committee, a team of scholars and residents is already looking for Severino. There are suspicions that he was attacked by hawks.
