Title pretty much says it all. With a POD of 1900+, save the Ivory-billed Woodpecker and Imperial Woodpecker. An obvious answer for the Ivory-billed would be to have the development in Northern Florida and the Gulf Coast reduced and not lead to so much habitat loss, but that might be difficult. Maybe it becomes a symbolic bird of a state or there are more preservation efforts for it in the South? The Imperial Woodpecker would probably be a lot harder though.

(do note that I'm not entirely sure whether the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is still alive or not. I'm convinced that footage from 2006 of a possible specimen is true, but you could also say that it is functionally extinct because of the very few specimens living and the habitat not being able to sustain a large population)
