Angola mystery in forests of the Gabela region

Our first mystery unfolds in the lush forests of the Gabela region, home to several unique bird species. In recent decades, some of these birds, such as the Gabela akalat, Gabela helmetshrike, and Gabela bushshrike, have become increasingly rare and elusive. Despite efforts by ornithologists and conservationists, these birds have seemingly vanished from their known habitats. Are they victims of habitat loss, climate change, or something more mysterious? The disappearance of the Gabela birds remains an unsolved puzzle, raising questions about the fate of these endemic species.
