About this episode

The Department of Conservation has recently announced that 90 new Kākāpō chicks have been hatched in the last breeding season bringing the total number of Kākāpō to a record of 325, a major achievement considering the species is critically endangered and only had 51 individuals three decades ago. I spoke with Kaiāwhina Taonga ranger Neve Duxfield, about what the Kākāpō recovery programme looks like day-to-day and what this significant milestone means for Kākāpō.
