Did anyone try to save the dodo bird?
The Dodo bird has been extinct for 400 years, but a smaller lookalike relative called the Manumea bird, also called the tooth-billed pigeon, still exists on two islands in Samoa. It is on the endangered list and consideration is being given to changing that to critically endangered. Conservationists are learning more about the Manumea in order to create an effective recovery plan, since the population of 7,000 in the 1980s has been drastically reduced to a few hundred. One of the methods being considered is captive breeding.

Why did the dodo bird adapt to their environment and what did they do to change?
The dodo bird adapted to its environment, primarily the island of Mauritius, by evolving to be flightless, as it had no natural predators and abundant food sources. This adaptation allowed the dodo to thrive in its niche, feeding on fruits, seeds, and roots. However, the arrival of humans and invasive species led to habitat destruction and competition for resources, ultimately contributing to the dodo's extinction, as they were ill-equipped to cope with these rapid changes.
