How did that Ivory Billed Woodpecker vanish again?

Bad luck.


           
                Actually it went extinct directly because of this type of 
forestry. The Ivory-Billed had the bad luck of relying on a single food source. 
That is the large-sized grub worm of a specific type of large beetle. These 
beetles were specific to old growth snags, living in the decaying trunks of 
normally distributed old growth dead trees. A climax forest. Especially the 
southern swamp type.

   
                        Present day forestry eliminated all such sustainable 
forests in the Ivory-Billed's range. Hunting finished the rest. The clear-cut 
you linked is a prime example. It won't be true wilderness until real 
bio-logical forests are allowed to exist in 'wildernesses'. This has little to do with 
a few entry dirt roads jutting in...
