Save Our Iconic Kiwi
Kiwi populations around the country are declining at an average of 2% a year – a serious situation. It’s mostly due to predation upon kiwi chicks by stoats, cats, dogs and ferrets. The goal for Save Our Iconic Kiwi is to turn this decline around, so that every type of kiwi is increasing in number.

DOC is working on an indigenous freshwater fish amendment bill to halt the decline of our indigenous freshwater fish species.
Improving whitebait management
