Meet the Locals: Conservation Week Special
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2009
It's been a cracker year for kākāpō. Their precarious population has doubled since the recovery programme launched in 1995.– Presenter Nicola Vallance (née Toki), in 2009
Because the island we're taking the chicks back to is completely pest-free, it's vital that visitors don't accidentally bring seeds or pests over in their luggage. Everything has to be washed with antiseptic and checked, and I mean everything.– Presenter Nicola Vallance (née Toki) disinfects her bra before travelling to Codfish Island (Whenua Hou).
