Birds-of-Paradise Project
Witness diverse strategies of evolution at work
and experience one of nature's extraordinary wonders - up close.
The Birds-of-Paradise Project reveals the astounding beauty of 39
of the most exquisitely specialized animals on earth.
After 8 years and 18 expeditions to New Guinea and Australia, Cornell Lab scientist Ed Scholes and National Geographic photojournalist Tim Laman succeeded in capturing images of all 39 species in the bird-of-paradise family for the first time ever.
But these images and sounds are more than just beautiful—
they are the raw data that reveal to scientists how evolution works.
The birds-of-paradise are a premier example of evolution in all its complexity and power.
