There is still hope, but it looks grim.

But at least a song exists to try and lighten the melancholy.

A sad new........

Such a pity, although it's not unexpected.
While there may be countless individuals in captivity I see a problem in all those breedings of albinos and colour morphs and uncontrolled cross-breedings between them. I hope a breeding program will be established that focuses on the wild form, even if chances amay be slim they can ever be reintroduced to their natural habitat.
