Iwi and community-led effort return kiwi to Wellington for first time in over a century
A community-led initiative has successfully reintroduced over 250 kiwi birds to the hills around Wellington, marking the first time in 150 years that these native birds have returned to the area. The project reflects a strong collaboration between local iwi (tribes) and conservation efforts to restore the indigenous wildlife.
