Mauritius Kestrel
(Falco punctatus)
44 years ago, the endangered Mauritius Kestrel was near extinction, with just four known birds, including one breeding female. Conservation efforts included captive breeding, extra feeding, nest-site improvements and predator control. Today, with a population of approximately 400 birds, this conservation achievement is cited as one of the most successful bird species reclamation projects in the world.
