The Capital Kiwi Project’s mission is to restore a large-scale wild kiwi population to Wellington’s backyard. The project spans 23,000 hectares, from Red Rocks in the south, to west of Porirua. A collaboration between locals, landowners, iwi and funders saw a 4500-trap network deployed to target the #1 threat to juvenile kiwi: stoats. This year, 50 kiwi travelled from Maungatautari to whakakāinga anō (make their homes again) in the wild west of Wellington in one of the largest kiwi translocations undertaken.
