I just re-read Douglas Adam's account of the kakapos in "Last Chance To See" for the first time in many years. It sounds like the kakapos are doing quite a bit better now than when Adams first wrote about them in 1990 (unlike the baiji and the northern white rhinos).

in this thread I mentioned the changes in fortune of the featured species between the book and the tv series: http://www.zoochat.com/183/last-chance-see-25955/ (the thread is from 2008 so the kakapo numbers are even higher now than they were then )
