The Capital Kiwi Project has just marked a major milestone: the final monitoring transmitters have been removed from the 250 kiwi released in the hills around Wellington. They have been intensely monitored for four years, and are doing well enough for the team to shift to less invasive methods like kiwi call counting.
In 2018, 5,300 traps were set up from Pariwhero Red Rocks in the south to Porirua in the north. The team had to run that for three years and show stoat numbers were low enough to bring kiwi back. The first kiwi were released in November 2022.
The goal was always for the birds to be wild and able to live freely on their own terms, not be poked and prodded by humans.
