Creating a Thriving Wildlife Habitat
Takahē make themselves at home.
Our takahē have settled beautifully into their new home at Onetahua/Farewell Spit and are doing really well.
Their arrival in May was a huge milestone, and the result of years of joint mahi, intensive predator control, and the completion of the new predator-proof fence. We love having them here, and we're excited about what the future may bring.
Stay tuned for more takahē updates as breeding season approaches!
Project Area
The project area stretches from the iconic tip of Farewell Spit Nature Reserve to the edge of Whanganui Inlet. It also includes Pākawau Forest in Kahurangi National Park and Kaihoka Lakes Scenic Reserve.
