The Resurrection of the Takahe: A Story of Survival and Conservation of a Prehistoric Bird in New Zealand

The takah has avoided extinction and evolved into a symbol of hope and resiliency for New Zealand's natural world. Before it was found again in a distant valley in 1948, the takah was previously believed to be extinct. Intense conservation efforts have been made since then, and it has been reintroduced to portions of its previous habitats.
