Native Maori took a leading role in efforts to revive the iconic kakapo. “People came together because they knew the bird was bigger than anything else.”
A kākāpō named"Yasmine" is photographed on Anchor Island , one of the three sanctuaries that helped rebuild populations of the critically endangered species. One hundred kākāpō have been born since 2019, allowing a small population to return to New Zealand’s mainland., an inquisitive green face poked its head out of a bag.
