occoro dove returns to Mexico

[vogelcommando]

Real good news for the Socorro dove, a species extinct in the wild and saved by privat aviculturists and - at a later state - zoos and birdparks ! I've also worked with the species :
Socorro Dove Returns to Mexico for First Time in Over 40 Years

Re-introduction-plans in finale state :

Move Over, Sheep. Doves Are Returning Home To Tiny Island Of Socorro

Pretty exciting!

It reminisces of Galapagos or New Zealand island restoration initiatives and the need to control or exterminate invasives and lethal introduced "predators".
