In this paper we consider the reconstruction problem on the tree for the hardcore model. We determine new bounds for the non-reconstruction regime on the k-regular tree showing non-reconstruction when lambda < (ln 2-o(1))ln^2(k)/(2 lnln(k)) improving the previous best bound of lambda < e-1. This is almost tight as reconstruction is known to hold when lambda> (e+o(1))ln^2(k). We discuss the relationship for finding large independent sets in sparse random graphs and to the mixing time of Markov chains for sampling independent sets on trees.
