Bali starling
Lowest recorded population: six
Most of this bird's problems can be attributed to its beauty. Because of its striking appearance – brilliant white, with blue skin around its eyes and black tips to its wings and tail – it is hugely popular in the caged-bird trade, and as a result is a prime target for poachers.
Leucopsar rothschildi lives only on the island of Bali in Indonesia. The population was down to 15 in 1990, bounced back to around 50 thanks to conservation efforts, then crashed to six in 2001 because of poaching.
Captive breeding has had the desired effect and by 2008 the wild population numbered 106 adults and 39 young. An assessment last year suggested that the species is unlikely to go into decline again.
