It has been proposed that some individuals could be captured for a captive breeding program.

The current wild population is estimated at under 50 individuals, with a further 208 birds in captive breeding programs.

Despite the efforts of several conservation teams, captive breeding programs have all failed.

There are currently no captive breeding programs for this animal.

In the case of endangered species, captive breeding programs may also be undertaken.

The captive breeding program is considered among the most successful of its kind.

Before the captive breeding program was started there were only about 50-60 birds left in the wild.

Further, captive breeding programs aimed at preserving the species have met with little success.

A captive breeding program, if successful, will be a big boost to the recovery effort.

Their best hope for the future can only be a captive breeding program, such as we have here.
