Kiwicare
THE FAR North branch has responded to the Kiwi Recovery Programme and the surveys showing alarming kiwi decline (see Conservation Update, last issue) by assisting DoC with funds and labour to erect signs in the Kerikeri Inlet area. Numerous northern brown kiwi live in the area, in regenerating shrublands close to settlements.
The signs will alert people to the presence of the kiwi population, and the need to control dogs which are their major threat. There has been a good public response to the signs, although birds are still being killed. The branch is also circulating an information display about kiwi to schools and communities throughout the district.
