It is estimated that there are only 1500 remaining in the wild after the species “returned from extinction” in 1989, with no record of the species being sighted for over a century.
Wildlife Manager Rabecca Lynch said it was vital to maintain a healthy captive population of this fragile and endangered species.
“If we can breed these species successfully, there then lies hope that at some time in the future they may be able to be released back out into the wild and our conservation efforts can have maximum impact.”
