From that point on and into the present day, the island's population slowly recovered.

The population did not recover to 1300 levels for two or three hundred years.

Though, many later returned and the population has largely recovered.

By the end of 1945, however, the population had already recovered to approximately 500,000.

Large numbers were shot in the late 19th century and the population has never fully recovered.

From the early 1990s through mid-2003, the population recovered to more than 32 animals.

The population has since recovered and in 2002 was estimated to be about 25,000.

As of 2002, the population had recovered to around 1,200 birds.

The economy and population have recovered in recent years, the main industry being tourism.

Since 1973, the population has recovered well and increased to 544 animals around the turn of the century.
