Description
The kakapo is one of the world's rarest birds. At one point, only 51 remained.
Faced with possible extinction, New Zealand made a bold decision: move every remaining kakapo to remote predator-free islands and hope it wasn't already too late.
What happened over the next 31 years surprised even the scientists who dedicated their lives to saving the species. This is the remarkable story of one of the most successful wildlife conservation efforts ever attempted—and the unexpected lesson it taught about how nature really works.
