    Which critically endangered bird, thought to be extinct just a few years ago, has had its population increased by a large percentage recently?

    		The Madagascar pochard.

    "The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, two British groups leading a captive breeding program in Madagascar, say the hatching of 18 Madagascan pochards "builds hope that the bird can be saved from extinction."

    The ducks were thought to have become extinct in the late 1990s, but were rediscovered in 2006 when conservationists discovered 22 birds at a single site at a lake in northern Madagascar, the BBC reported."
