In 1995, only 51 kakapo were left, including just 20 females. Now, New Zealands rare flightless parrot has reached 325, but they don't breed every year

New Zealand's kakapo parrot has seen a remarkable increase in its population, which now stands at 325 individuals, a recovery from a mere 51 in 1995. Although progress is evident, the species remains critically endangered and relies heavily on dedicated human efforts for its survival. Conservationists are focusing on maintaining predator-free habitats and closely managing breeding strategies to secure the future of these unique birds.
