Citizen Science: Kiwi conservation

Kiwi are our National symbol and around the country many communities are trying to protect kiwi in their patch from predators and habitat loss.

Much relies on private landowners being willing to get involved in kiwi monitoring and predator control.

The Taranaki Kiwi Trust is working with landowners and the Department of Conservation, as well as local schools and volunteers to protect the North Island Western Brown Kiwi.
