Our Changing World's Claire Concannon

From Nights, 9:25 pm on 29 January 2025

Emile Donovan is joined by the brain behind Our Changing World, RNZ's premiere science podcast, Claire Concannon

Claire talks about recording tīeke -- or saddleback -- translocation to Orokonui ecosanctuary in Dunedin - and explains why 2025 looks like it's going be a big year of change for science and research in New Zealand.

In this interview it was mentioned that wing clipping took place on one wing of the tīeke, in fact both wings were clipped to keep the birds balanced.
