Yes. The kakapo could very easily become extinct. This bird, the world's only flightless parrot, is critically endangered, with a population that has fluctuated between 110 and 130 for the past decade or so. Measures are being taken to ensure the kakapo's survival; primarily, the removal of adult birds to offshore islands where they will be safe from introduced feral cats and the kiore, or Polynesian rat.

Why are the kakapo extinct?
The kakapo, a large, flightless parrot of New Zealand, is not yet extinct.The kakapo is critically endangered, to the point where it is extinct on the North Island. However, it is not extinct in the south.Kakapo numbers have seen a steady decline since peopkle first arrived on the islands of New Zealand, and particularly since European settlement. There are numerous factors contributing to this. The Maori introduced the kiore, or Polynesian rat, which eats kakapo eggs and young chicks. EpWhen Europeans came, they brought non-native predators such as stoats and feral cats. Habitat loss played a major part in the bird's endangerment as well.The current recovery programme involves relocation of the kakapo to protected islands. Since the implementation of the Kakapo Recovery Plan which was established in 1989, numbers have gradually increased, but the bird is still critically endangered. Currently, the numbers hover around 130 adult birds.
