The Blakiston's fish owl is a massive bird, with a wingspan of up to 6 feet. It is found in the forests of Russia, China, and Japan, and its diet consists primarily of fish. The owl is threatened by habitat loss, hunting, and pollution.

In 2016, a team of conservationists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) launched a project to find and save the Blakiston's fish owl. The team is working in the Russian Far East, where the owl is thought to be most numerous.

The team is using a variety of techniques to find the owls, including camera traps, acoustic surveys, and interviews with local people. The team is also working to protect the owls' habitat and reduce the threats they face.

The Blakiston's fish owl is a magnificent bird, and it is an important part of the ecosystem. The WCS team is working hard to save this bird from extinction, and they need our support.
