The good thing was that intensive research was applied of 25 years span time and interactive data presentation is created through Flourish visualization as mentioned in the Module 4.2 Data viz - Showing the Story.

But if the color lines were presented with the pictures of the mentioned birds or some other form, the first sight could create immediate meaning to the reader. The other observation is that the story is not covering, Why the species are declining? which concludes that investigation in not applied to complete the same.

That reasons either poaching, loosing habitat, climate or disease or other threat should be investigated/outlined for a meaningful story. 

As the news is about 5Ws and 1H. So Why and How are unanswered in this story. If the opportunity comes to us we may use TimelineJS tool to combine chart with photographs/sketches for meaningful storytelling.
