Requiring a breeding pair makes this a lot harder

@jonsimon maybe, but one of the stated goals of the project is reintroduction in the wild. I feel if it was not breeding then that would not really work.

predicts NO

@Odoacre oh sure, they talk about releasing hundreds of them, certainly at least one breeding pair will be required. I just meant it substantially changes the likelihood that it will actually happen.
