Our Changing World – Fernbirds in the Catlins

This week, we head south to Tautuku in the Catlins.  

It’s the site of Forest & Bird’s largest conservation area – the Lenz reserve is 550 hectares and is part of the catchment for the Tautuku and Fleming rivers.  

And it’s home to a host of threatened native birds and critters.  

Claire Concannon catches up with project manager Francesca Cunninghame to learn about a small wetland bird and its ongoing battle against introduced predators.
