This is great news. I hope they can repeat the process over and over. It would be great to see them come back in the wild.

Justin Guyer told me about this earlier. He said 63 babies now. Another 120 yet to hatch. Evidently their plan is to release the babies. Only something like 600 left in the wild.

Yup, and I think it would be incredible if they could reestablish them in the wild :yes:

They can release all the CB babies they want, but if the population is limited by the available habitat, it won't help.
