The increase from 10,000est to 35000est over 25 years is actually not as terrible as it sounds, in terms of an annual population increase it's only around 5% per year - natural increase in absence of predation for tahr is more like 25-30%.
So why has nothing been done over the last 25 years to keep the population at the desired 10,000? Once again I would suggest lack of management.
