Pink pigeons once flew from coast to coast across Mauritius. But in the 1990s, their numbers fell to just 12 individuals, and they were at risk of being lost forever.

ZSL is helping to secure their future through breeding and rearing at London Zoo and providing expertise to help manage the birds in Mauritius.

In this video, you'll hear from Senior bird keeper, Thomas Lawrance, and ZSL's Curator of Birds, Gary Ward, who explain what we're doing at London Zoo and in Mauritius to save pink pigeons, and other Critically Endangered birds: http://ow.ly/5z3a50N29wX
