Powhiri
for
the
first
kokako
to
be
retuerned
to
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce
|
Restoring
this
last
remnant
now
lies
in
the
hands
of
this
generation
of
New
Zealanders.
The
restoration
to
a
living
forest
full
of
birds
not
seen
here
for
over
50
years,
began
four
years
ago
when
North
Island
kaka
were
re-introduced.
This
small
population
was
managed
to
ensure
it
has
survived
and
bred
in
the
forest.
Now
their
future
is
much
brighter
with
management
of
the
predators
to
begin
soon.
This
project
will
cover
the
entire
forest
and
it
is
planned
to
ensure
the
numbers
of
rats
stoats
and
possums
are
reduced
right
down
to
give
the
kaka,
and
many
other
birds
that
could
be
returned
into
the
forest,
a
real
chance
to
increase.
