Waterfowl South America Critically Endangered Anseriformes Sea Duck Merganser

description Brazilian Merganser Overview

The Brazilian merganser is a critically endangered waterfowl species restricted to isolated, fast-flowing river systems within the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest regions of South America. It is one of the rarest ducks in the world, with an estimated population of fewer than 250 mature individuals remaining in the wild. The bird features a distinctive dark-green crest, a long serrated bill adapted for catching fish, and a dark body contrasting with a white belly. Habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and dam construction is the primary driver of its decline.
