The Unique Kākāpō
The kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) is a large, flightless, nocturnal parrot found in New Zealand. Known for its owl-like face and mossy green plumage, the kākāpō is critically endangered, with efforts underway to preserve its habitat and bolster its population. 🦜
Conservation Efforts
Dedicated conservation programs, such as the Kākāpō Recovery Program, have worked tirelessly to protect this unique species. Predation by introduced species and habitat loss have been significant threats to their survival. With around 200 individuals remaining, every kākāpō is vital to the genetic diversity of the species.
