Kiwi hold a special place in the hearts of New Zealanders. Help them to thrive and prosper.
In the Whakatane district kiwi are literally in our backyard. We have the unique opportunity to be able to walk off the pavement into the bush and be in kiwi territory. Without active management to support breeding and minimise predators, kiwi will eventually disappear from the Whakatane district. Whakatane kiwi need your help.
