Fody folly |14 February 2005

The Scops had long been deemed critically endangered, but was down-listed after a three-year study revealed more information on the bird, which had a higher population than originally thought and a relatively secure habitat in the highlands of Mahe.
 
The Fody, meanwhile, is likely to shed its “vulnerable” status as it continues to rebound on different islands. Check next week’s Environment Nation for an in-depth look at other endangered bird species in Seychelles and their hopes of recovery after some were on the brink of extinction.
