Yes. Kakapo are not kept in captivity because they cannot be bred in captivity, and little is known about their needs. There are very few in captivity, as they tend to become stressed. All remaining kakapo are in the wild on three protected islands off the southern coast of New Zealand.
According to a report from February 2012, the population of the kakapo at that stage stood at 127. This was down from a high of 131 in the previous breeding season. This flightless, nocturnal parrot of New Zealand remains critically endangered.
