Well said Mat. I agree. What a brilliant project and educational tool to teach the new generation the right direction, hopefully in 100 years from now vast parts of the country will have been restored. Great Barrier and Stewart Islands next !!!!

This is so awesome, I was lucky enough to see Takehe at Zealandia in Wellington, it's great we are putting in the effort to try and restore our beautiful country to the way it once was. I hope that as these ecological sanctuaries become more abundant, that we start to try some really ambitious ones- like the whole Coromandel Peninsula or something like that. It'd take law changes and lifestyle changes for a lot of people (no cats etc), as well as an enormous eradication programme (not to mention fence!) but I think it would be worth it to have Takehe Kiwi and other birdlife in great numbers on mainland NZ again.
