Durrell is also working to save critically endangered species such as the Pink Pigeon, Echo Parakeet, Round Island Boa (Casarea dussumieri) and Mauritius Fody.

While the Red Fody is one of the most common birds of the region, several of the other fodies are considered to be threatened, particularly the Mauritius Fody which is classed as endangered.

Since 1994, the programme serves only as a safeguard, should some catastrophe befall the wild population, and other rare endemics are now being cared for at the station (such as the Pink Pigeon or the Mauritius Fody).
