Choice News Tuesday: Little spotted kiwi rediscovered on mainland Aotearoa

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Kiwi pukupuku (the little spotted kiwi) have been rediscovered in the wild on mainland Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in five decades!

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.

The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.

Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!

We hope this news brings a smile!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
