Considering recent population recovery in the main cohort, what is a more accurate conservation classification for the Emperor Goose today?
Answer
A species of concern or regionally vulnerable
Due to the apparent rebound in the main migratory cohort, reaching sometimes over 80,000 birds, classifying them as universally rare is inaccurate; they are better described as a species of concern or regionally vulnerable.
