The kākāpō teetered on the edge of extinction in the mid-1900s due to hunting, predators and land clearance. From the 1970s, conservation efforts focused on managing the remaining kākāpō on the country’s offshore islands, where predators are systematically eradicated. Due to those ongoing efforts, parrot numbers have grown from fewer than 60 in 1995 to more than 200 today. https://arevie.ws/Kakapo_KM via npub1wugzrsdsedpljlzz2rj852j06llvxcsdzg87w0e8h33yemg7j48sm7zl6t (npub1wug…zl6t) #KnowableMagazine
