Did you know nine endangered kiwi were recently returned to Tongariro Forest?

Libby Totton Reporter from Taupō Times

Twenty years ago, kiwi chicks were removed from Tongariro Forest to breed in the protection of predator-free Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, near Cambridge.

Now their offspring have been returned to their whenua in a special ceremony. And it's the first of what's expected to be several large-scale releases.
