The beautiful Spix’s Macaw has been extinct in the wild since 2000 due to illegal trade, hunting and the destruction of its natural habitat. On 11 June 2022, it will become the first-ever species to be “unextinct” following a 22-year breeding programme, when the first eight birds will be released into their ancestral home: the Brazilian Caatinga.
This unique and special moment will be immortalized through the launch of the UNEXTINCT NFT project, a collection of exclusive digital artworks designed by award-winning and world-renowned wildlife photographer Tim Flach. The collection will be released on 11th June 6:30PM ET or 11:30 GMT, 00:30 CET respectively.
