Public Comment
[3,000 is] "Their own estimation as of 1998, which is perhaps a bit high. In the early part of the 20th century theirnumbers were as low as 500, climbing to around 1,000 by 1972 (Grimes 1992). But as late as 1964
(Reverte 1967:2) they were still considered to be on the way to extinction. That is no longer the case."
