Conservationists have taken the first step in their quest to save the world's rarest duck - the Madagascar pochard.
After being hampered by harsh weather and illness, a team successfully set up a small rearing facility for the ducks.
This rescue plan was mounted when scientists realised how close the birds were to the brink of extinction.
The pochards were believed to be extinct in the late 1990s. They were rediscovered in 2006 but are now classified as critically endangered.

This proposed ordinance or law concerns me because it is the kind of thing animal rights people get behind, when in fact they are opposed to animal domestication. Once all pets are spayed or neutered, in a decade or so none will exist.
