Meet the kākāpō: the planet’s heaviest and only flightless parrot. Thirty years ago, fewer than 50 remained in the wild, but thanks to decades of conservation work, this endangered nocturnal bird is making a remarkable comeback. Expedition Leader Sam Superus shares the story of the kākāpō’s recovery, from predator-free island sanctuaries to innovative breeding efforts. A volunteer with New Zealand’s Department of Conservation, Sam shares one of the world’s most inspiring species success stories and the challenges that still lie ahead for "the world's chonkiest parrot.”
