Abstract
New Zealand writer, David Young, Reviews Kakapo: Rescued from the Brink of Extinction. 200 pp. Cloth $49.95Alison Ballance's work deals with the kakapo, once widely distributed across the archipelago, and which has become the poster-child of bird recovery programs in New Zealand. Since parrots are relatively new-comers to evolution, it had to have flown here in the past 12-25 million years, long after New Zealand separated from Australia. At the heart of the kakapo story are the seed masting years, those climate-dependent seasons when native trees come into especially heavy seeding.
