A
captive
breeding
programme
is
underway
at
Mount
Bruce,
to
provide
kokako
for
release
into
the
wild.
The
first
ever
release
of
kokako
bred
at
Pukaha Mount Bruce
took
place
on
Kapiti
Island
in
1994.
Captive
bred
kokako
have
since
been
released
there
and
onto
Tiritiri
Matangi
Island.
Recovery
plan
in
action
at
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce
-
The
long
term
goal
for
kokako
is
to
“improve
the
status
of
North
Island
kokako
from
endangered,
by
restoring
the
national
population
to
1000
pairs
by
the
year
2020,
in
sustainable
communities
throughout
the
North
Island.”
(Recovery
Plan
1999-2009)
