Who's Killing the Kiwi
Television (Full Length) – 1997
In the late 1980s, the Department of Conservation got quite concerned about the decline of kiwi. We were aware that kiwi were disappearing from areas where they'd been for many years, but that's much, much worse than we ever imagined.– Hugh Robertson, coordinator of the Kiwi Recovery Programme
If you had to identify the single animal that you had to control or take out of the system, to make a difference to kiwis, it's got to be the stout.– Ecologist John McLennan on the main threat to young kiwi
