According to Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po report on the 11th, Filardi, a scientist at the National Museum of Natural History in the United States, found a rare bird, the moustached kingfisher, in the Solomon Islands earlier, but he was taking pictures of the bird. After that, kill it and make a specimen with the research team. The incident caused outrage.

The Bearded Kingfisher

Although this dexterous Bearded Kingfisher has been seen many times before, this is the first time scientists have successfully photographed it Photo. Filardi, director of the Pacific program at the Natural History Museum, had heard the cries of Jade while he was visiting the Solomon Islands earlier, so he started tracking.

He claimed that catching beard jadeite is to make specimens for additional research, but other scientists believe that this is unnecessary to kill, criticized by Bekoff, professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado, with Killing in the name of teaching and conservation must stop.

In this regard, Filardi argues that the beard is not an endangered species.
