And in other news: there’s one week left to adopt a #kakapo for delivery before Christmas. Adoptions close 10th Dec. It’s a great way to support #conservation of this critically endangered species. Thank you to everyone who’s helped so far! doc.govt.nz/adopt-a-kakapo

Here's some Whio (Blue Duck) and a curious Weka - relaxing in their natural home, protected by the amazing work of @docgovtnz and the generous #NZ taxpayer. Thanks for protecting our unique treasures. Without these taonga we would be just another somewhere. @PredatorFreeNZ

Some feel good vibes today, voted for @Forest_and_Bird Bird of the Century (tough choices!), and then bought some rat traps from @PredatorFreeNZ in prep for trapping in the great outdoors of NZ.

The #kakapo at @Maungatautari1 are keeping us on our toes! Last week Manaaki was found outside of the fence and returned inside. We suspect he used a tree to jump the fence, so further tree trimming is underway and we’re closely monitoring all 10 birds. 📸 DOC. #conservation

One of the best things I’ve ever seen. A crack between boulders filled to the brim with kōrero geckos on the Otago peninsula. Enjoying the warmth of the sun from the safety of their hideaway.

There’s a new wild population of #takahe in NZ! With Ngāi Tahu and supported by Fulton Hogan we’ve released 18 takahē to the Greenstone Valley near Queenstown - a site where they haven’t lived for over a century. Here’s the last pair heading off to their new home. #conservation
