Summary
In a small area of forest near Ōkārito, rowi are fighting for survival.
Introduced predators such as possums and stoats, as well as domesticated cats and dogs, are killing off this national taonga (treasure).
The only remaining natural population of rowi is found in Ōkārito Kiwi Zone - 11,000 hectares of protected forest northwest of Franz Josef/Waiau village.
This brochure outlines some interesting facts about rowi, their enemies, their friends BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust, and how you too can help.
