From Simon Willison - “Quoting Andrew Digby

The latest update reports 325 kākāpō, including juveniles from this year's breeding season. In 1995, the population was just 51 individuals. This increase demonstrates the potential for species recovery through sustained efforts.

The addition of juvenile birds to the population signifies ongoing reproductive success. Monitoring these numbers helps evaluate conservation strategies and their effectiveness.

Such data is relevant for models predicting species recovery and for agents managing conservation resources. It underscores the importance of long-term efforts in endangered species management.
