One of the largest ever kiwi translocation seasons is underway
New Zealand's biggest movement of North Island brown kiwi is underway, and we couldn't be prouder! This year we are aiming to have around 300 kiwi move to other conservation projects around the North Island. This is a world first in terms of scale and complexity. Working alongside Save the Kiwi, iwi and recipient sites we are paving the way for the future of the species.
We are hoping to offer some kiwi encounter experiences, stay tuned whilst we hatch the plan!
