My biosphere bucket was filled today with this news. 10 Kiwi are being finally released into the forests of the Karioi Rāhui (Ruapehu) region. They were welcomed by local iwi (tribe) Ngāti Rangi before release into the land of their ancestors.
They come from a population of over 3000 at the Maungatautari predator-free sanctuary, a number brought up from just 8(!) breeding pairs over 2 decades. I did not know this wonder, despite living on the same island.
