Kākāpō Comeback: From 50 to 200+ Birds!

Did you know New Zealand’s chonky, flightless parrot—the kākāpō—was nearly wiped out? Thanks to some wild conservation moves (think: predator-free islands, high-tech tracking, and even genetic matchmaking), these adorable night parrots are making a serious comeback. Their numbers have jumped from just 50 to over 200! It’s a total glow-up for one of the world’s rarest birds and proof that a mix of science, tech, and community can actually save a species. #KakapoRecovery #ConservationWin #WildlifeRescue #Science
