When kakapo were only found in remote wilderness, they remained vulnerable to introduced stoats, the number one enemy that eats eggs and chicks of New Zealand's endangered birds.
It is most puzzling to see a bird that cannot fly perched high in a tree, but kakapo are very accomplished climbers, using their beak and strong claws to pull and grip their way up and down trees and vines.
The most spectacular, on the edge, brink of extinction rescue in New Zealand was bringing back the Chatham Island fl robin, after finding the sole surviving female, that could then choose from 4 remaining males.

 Wine X Magazine - Australia/New Zealand
This scene has been repeated in my professional life with monotonous regularity, and highlights just how fiercely parochial we are about our own wine industry, and how reluctant we can be to contemplate the possibility that other countries are capable of producing half-way decent booze.
This attitude is especially puzzling when one considers just how fond we are of other imported goods like cars, televisions, computers, furniture, white goods, gourmet foods, fashion etc etc. However, it seems when it comes to wine, for many Australians the wine world begins in the Yarra Valley and ends in the Margaret River.
This is particularly true in the 'old world' powerhouses of France and Italy, where the realisation that the 'new world' was eating into their markets proved to be the catalyst for a winemaking renaissance.
