Recently, A Fungal Disease has been killing Our rare "Fat" Kakapo. Seven Kakapo have died in recent months, after catching the disease (The population is over 200, but not 210!).
Kakapo Supporters have donated over NZ$100,000; with more than 50% of it coming from *drum roll* OVERSEAS!! Not even kidding.
"They could all die" Is a statement from Dr James Chatterton, Auckland Zoo’s head of veterinary services. A quote from Department of Conservation is... "Kakapo need our urgent support"
That is very true, and we do need to help the Kakapo.
