This article describes the ways in which the Nuri Talaud, a small colorful bird located on an island at the northern reaches of Indonesia, first became a hunted commodity and evolved into a thriving protected species. Told from the life history of Om Zaka, a local hunter turned bird conservationist, this article describes the background that shaped the shifting values placed on the Nuri Talaud. The bird initially gained value as a symbol of the state through its selection for inclusion in Indonesia’s national theme park. As a result of its newfound prominence, local hunters emerged to systematically hunt the bird for sale through a network of international species trade. Nearly facing extinction, various actors and initiatives came together to protect the Nuri Talaud. This paper shows the ways in which a species can be targeted to almost extinction, and the processes that can take shape to ensure its protection.

The main objective of this paper is to describe how the application of the life history technique serves to make visible, address, and treat the multiple losses and grief in contexts of violence. this is done through the analysis of the life history of a 62-year-old Mexican woman from the state of Guerrero. this is a qualitative study that takes up robert A. Neimeyer’s theory of multiple grief, who conceives grief as a situation triggered by the death of a close person, but also by a loss that is generally minimized and not well attended by society. This way, the life story technique has significant advantages for the treatment of multiple grief or losses in violent contexts. The narrative helps people to integrate thoughts and emotions about the losses they have suffered into a consistent and meaningful experience.
