Hatching up the world's rarest duck
Eighteen Madagascan Pochard mallards, the world's most endangered rare and endangered duck, was born in a special hatchery at Antsohihy in Madagascar.
Newly born ducks have helped increase the total number of Madagascan Pochard ducks worldwide to 60.
The Wildfowl, Wetlands Trust and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust are the leading groups of hatchery programs in the hope of saving the ducks from extinction.

Previously, in 1990, Pochard duck was thought to disappear. However, 22 individuals were rediscovered in 2006 during an expedition of conservationists at Lake Matsaborimena (also known as Red Lake), in northern Madagascar.
In 2009, these organizations issued emergency missions to save this rare duck. Since then, conservationists have actively collected eggs and conducted artificial hamlets.
'The hatchery of Madagascar's ducks shows an amazing step in the struggle to save this species from extinction,' said Dr. Glyn Young, a conservationist of Durrell, who has spent a lot of time researching Madagascar ducks , to speak.
