Short film promotes mission to save Madagascar pochard
A short film of last year's mission to Madagascar to rescue the endemic pochard from imminent extinction has been posted on YouTube. It tells the story of the team of WWT and Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust staff who worked with the local Malagasy community and the support of The Peregrine Fund to take clutches of eggs into captivity to establish a safety net population.
The team are currently back in Madagascar to establish a major conservation project to breed birds, restore wetlands and ultimately reintroduce the pochard within its former range. Follow their progress on the blog.
