Kakapo : rescued from the brink of extinction
Description: "New Zealand's threatened night parrot, the kakapo, has been the focus of a remarkable conservation effort that has seen the bird's population rise from a perilous low of 51 aging birds to three times that number ... Natural history writer and broadcaster Alison Ballance has been involved with kakapo since the mid-1990s, and has a unique insight into the birds and their human minders. In this fully updated edition of Kakapo, she follows the fall and rise of one of the world's most unusual birds, from the brink of extinction through a roller-coaster ride of hope and loss, to today, when the species has a bright future ahead."--Inside front dust jacket
