Wildfowl And Wetlands Trust

There are fewer than 50 pairs of British black-tailed godwits left in the wild, says a wildlife trust, and they rely on a handful of wetland sites to breed.

Numbers of Black-tailed godwits have almost doubled thanks to a successful six year breeding programme.

The Madagascar pochard was thought to have been extinct for 15 years and now 21 ducks have been returned to the wild.
