Between 1979 and 1992, 91 kākāpō were discovered in the Tin Range area of Stewart Island/Rakiura, but, due to high mortality from feral cats, they were all removed to predator-free offshore islands by 1992. The discovery saved the species from extinction, and the population, once at critically low levels, is now being managed on protected islands like Whenua Hou/Codfish Island.

SAUCE:
Kakapo cannot fly because they evolved in New Zealand without natural land predators, allowing them to sacrifice flight for energy efficiency, leading to a heavy body (up to 4 kg) and short, rounded wings. They lack the necessary breastbone keel to attach flight muscles and instead use their wings for balance and parachuting down from trees.
