Described from a 17 th- century painting ( Marcgrave, 1648; Linnaeus, 1766), rediscovered only in the 1950s ( Pinto, 1952), and then extinct in the wild during the 1980s ( Collar et al., 1992; Silveira et al., 2004), the Alagoas Curassow is now being reintroduced in the wild after a successful captive breeding program ( Francisco et al., 2021). Information regarding its puzzling taxonomic history and conservation has been covered in detail elsewhere ( Collar et al., 1992; Costa et al., 2017; Silveira et al., 2004, 2008).
