5 Cache River National Wildlife Refuge This vast tract of bottomland forest, sloughs and lakes in east-central Arkansas includes the Arkansas Big Woods, where multiple sightings in 2004 and 2005--including a snippet of video--persuaded even some distinguished ornithologists that the ivory-billed woodpecker, long thought to be extinct, was still in flight.
Ivory-billed Woodpecker Until its rediscovery on the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge in Arkansas of 2004, most people would have said that the ivory-billed woodpecker (Campephilus principalis) was extinct.
Fish & Wildlife Service rushed to create Cache River National Wildlife Refuge in 1986, protecting what undisturbed tracts they could, purchasing others already converted to agriculture, and replanting trees.
