Characterizing the spatio-temporal threats, conservation hotspots and conservation gaps for the most extinction-prone bird family (Aves: Rallidae)

Here we worked on the rails (bird family Rallidae), looking at whether the
current threats are consistent with those that led to recent extinctions,
and ultimately, what conservation actions might be necessary to mitigate
further losses. We undertook a global synthesis of the temporal and
spatial threat patterns for Rallidae and determined conservation
priorities and gaps.
