I’m sure the media coverage doesn't do this research full justice, but I do 
wonder why we need a mathematics professor to tell us populations are at 
greater risk of getting to zero when their numbers are closer to zero?
Maybe this isn’t such ground-breaking research...
PS how do you think 16,000+ people have voted on the Wellington papers question 
“Should we abandon efforts to save the Kakapo?”
