Incredible good news for Pōneke Wellington and Aotearoa NZ

The Capital Kiwi project has achieve a key milestone - all kiwi in the project area (the hills of western Wellington) are now properly “free-range” - living without tracking transmitters. Ten years in the project has achieved a 90%+ survival rate for kiwi chicks - in the wild. This is truly astonishing.

Read more about the milestone at The Spinoff, and have a look at the YouTube video showing the last transmitters being removed.

This is just one part of the wider efforts across Pōneke Wellington to enable our native birds and wildlife to flourish once again.

I highly recommend donating to support this outstanding project: Donate
