New Zealand / 新西兰

New Zealand is the setting for the [[Kakapo|kakapo]] section of 186.让你笑到头掉仍不忘思考，伟大的《消逝世界漫游指南》. The episode presents it as an island ecology where flightlessness and a lack of mammalian predators once made sense, but where human arrival and introduced animals made those traits dangerous.

The source uses New Zealand to give Island Extinction After Human Arrival a hopeful counterpoint. Intensive protected-island management, tracking, breeding attention, and funding after public visibility helped the kakapo recover from a population in the dozens to more than 200.
