Northland Pāteke Dip Due to Drought?

Pateke flock count graph 2022

Pāteke, the rarest mainland duck in New Zealand, are flourishing on Northland's east coast. However, the 2022 Flock Count shows there has been a dip in numbers.

Marunui Conservation – Safeguarding Kiwi and Their Chicks

Marunui Conservation got underway 1987  and in 2013, returned kiwi to their 421 ha block. Working collectively with the Piroa-Brynderwyns Landcare group to carry out pest control across the wider landscape has proven very successful - not only safeguarding the kiwi and their chicks, but helping the native coastal forests of the area flourish once … [Read more...]

Northland Kiwi Chicks: 2nd Batch Report

Northland brown kiwi often nest twice during the breeding season if conditions are favourable.
