In the late '90's the first seedlings in over 300 years germinated. There's also a wildlife preserve off the coast of Mauritius which is totally devoid of rats, feral pigs and such...Biologists have moved the most endangered wildlife to this island, where the populations have rebounded. Dunno what they're going to use to substitute for dodos, though...
