The programme promotes awareness of kiwi conservation at public and private events, schools, conservation hui, kiwi releases, at business events and anywhere the is an interested audience. Our kiwi practitioners are in hot demand to share their insights and experiences working with kiwi with the general public, so if you are interested in hosting an event please get in touch with us here.
Conservation is high on New Zealand’s agenda and there will be a multitude of jobs in the space for school leavers in future years so it is important that the conservation story is shared with our young people. TKT’s five accredited kiwi handling trainers assist to upskill volunteers and members of the wider conservation community in kiwi tracking, surveying and handling practices. The Kiwi Habitat Protection team do similar work in the trapping field.
