Sustainablity work on Kapiti and Mana Islands
Kapiti Island is 10 km long and about 2 km wide, covering an area of 1,965 ha. The highest point, Tuteremoana, is 521 m above sea-level.
Why is Kapiti Island now one of the nation's most important sites for bird recovery?
A world-first conservation effort is the most recent phase in the island's history of geological change, warfare and whaling.
