Black-Footed Ferret Population Rebounds from 18 to 400 in the Wild
The black-footed ferret, once thought to be extinct, is experiencing a significant population recovery across the American plains. In 1986, only 18 individuals remained, marking one of the lowest points in the species' history. Sustained captive breeding programs and coordinated reintroduction efforts have helped grow the wild population to approximately 400. The turnaround is being cited as a powerful example of what targeted conservation initiatives can achieve for endangered species.
