“…Peafowl, the largest and most vibrant birds in the genus Galliformes [25], are classified in Genus Pavo and Afropavo within the Family Phasianidae and Subfamily Pavoninae. The three existing species are Indian or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), green peafowl (Pavo muticus), and Congo peafowl (Afropavo congensis) [26]. These birds fascinate with their well-developed plumage, displaying a range of iridescent shades [27].…”

“…The green peafowl, listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List (http://www.iucnredlist.org) (accessed on 19 July 2023) and CITES Appendix-II, is experiencing a population decline [30]. In contrast, Congo and Indian peafowls are classified as vulnerable and least concern, respectively [26]. Habitat loss [31], inbreeding [15], and the poaching of feathers and flesh [30] contribute to the decline.…”

Aves ranks among the top two classes for the highest number of endangered and extinct species in the kingdom Animalia. Notably, the IUCN Red List classified the green peafowl as endangered. This highlights promising strategies using genetics and reproductive technologies for avian wildlife conservation. These platforms provide the capacity to predict population trends and enable the practical breeding of such species. The conservation of endangered avian species is facilitated through the application of genomic data storage and analysis. Storing the sequence is a form of biobanking. An analysis of sequence can identify genetically distinct individuals for breeding. Here, we reviewed avian genomics and stem cell approaches which not only offer hope for saving endangered species, such as the green peafowl but also for other birds threatened with extinction.
