What we do
Introduction
Puppets, bantam hens, helicopter pilots, ecologists, biologists, deer cullers, stoat trappers, rangers and volunteers, all have contributed to takahē recovery.For more than 65 years attempts to save takahē have pioneered conservation techniques for protected species in New Zealand and in the world.
The Takahē Recovery Programme involves a network of people throughout New Zealand, working together to ensure the takahē is never again ‘considered extinct’.
