Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Moved to Lower Threat Level: A Story of Successful Conservation Efforts.

The red-cockaded woodpecker is a special bird that lives in forests. It was once endangered, but now it is doing better.

In the 1970s, there were very few red-cockaded woodpeckers left. Now, there are many more thanks to conservation efforts.

These woodpeckers live in old pine forests. They make their nests in trees that have a special fungus.

People cut down many of the pine forests, which hurt the woodpeckers. But now people are protecting the forests and helping the birds.

The red-cockaded woodpecker is still considered a threatened species. We need to continue to help them so they can thrive.
