Adjusted · What changed We changed the title to describe larvae being bred for release, not a release that has already occurred; the report says they are due for release this year. We corrected the release status to “due for release” and replaced the general caveat about a lasting population with the report’s specific condition for confirming success: wild-bred offspring must mature, expected in 2030.

The article says glowworms had not been seen at the reserve for 100 years. It does not establish that a lasting glowworm population has returned.
