Yes, I agree that John Young should receive proper acknowledgement in the
media release. I notice that the ABC news article that was published online
earlier today mentions John.

"press release." How does, or can, anyone forget who found the Night Parrots
in the first place? How, and to what end is this seemingly continuing
misinformation (or out right omission) of John's accomplishment being
spread?

wrongly acknowledging a "team of scientists" for the rediscovery of Night
Parrot. The full credit for rediscovery of Night Parrot all goes to John
Young and nobody else. It was because of Johns ornithological and bush
skills, his incredible experience and relentless determination that the bird
was found in Western Qld. While it is encouraging to see funding grants to
support conservation of Night Parrot, John Young should be the central
figure managing this conservation project..
