YEAR, the slender-billed curlew was declared
extinct — the first documented extinction of a
bird species (<EM>Numenius tenuirostris</EM>)
whose range extended from mainland Europe to
North Africa and West Asia. So too the Orkney
charr (<EM>Salvelinus inframundus</EM>), the
Taiwanese swallowtail butterfly (<EM>Papilio
machaon sylvina)</EM>, and a host of other
plants and animals. Their fate is an indicator
of a grim future for biodiversity. In fact,
according to the International Union for
Conservation of Nature, more than 47,000 species
currently face the threat of extinction,
including a quarter of all mammals and
freshwater fish, a third of tree species, four
in ten amphibian species, and nearly half of all
reef-building corals.</P>
<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lato', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 16px">But
beyond that parade of horribles, that litany of
gloom and doom, is a bit of good news: the
continuing discovery of previously unknown
species by dedicated researchers who love the
living world. These discoveries are often made
by nature-loving obsessives, whose dedication,
patience, and persistence can be hard to
understand. I call them Finders.</P>
<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lato', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 16px">“When
we look at scientists, they have this intrinsic
passion or curiosity for a particular subject,
and it was not crushed out of them,” clinical
psychologist Edward Hoffman, an adjunct faculty
member at Yeshiva University and my longtime
friend, told me when I asked him what drives
Finders. That passion “was nurtured and
encouraged by parents and teachers and mentors,”
explained Hoffman, who is a leading researcher
in positive psychology. “We know people who are
highly creative in the sciences tend to be
optimistic; they tend to enjoy challenges and
solving problems. They tend to have a need for
novelty. They get bored quickly if this passion
is not fed in their lives.”</P>
<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lato', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 16px">How
long can that depth of passion, that excitement,
that thrill of the quest last?</P>
