We have issued a NATIONAL ADVISORY: TSUNAMI ACTIVITY following the Tongan eruption. We expect New Zealand coastal areas on the north and east coast of the North Island and the Chatham Islands to experience strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges at the shore.
The @docgovtnz reports that 18 Kakī chicks hatched as part of their conservation breeding program between December 24 and December 28. This is an unusually high number and a boon for the world’s rarest wading bird. (📷 : Liz Brown/DOC)
A huge congratulations to the pekapeka long-tailed bat for winning #BirdoftheYear 2021! 🦇🏆
Despite being our only endemic land mammal, most people don't even know they exist, which makes their win even more outstanding.
Congratulations Pekapeka Gang and @NZBatman from your night-time friends pukupuku.
You are a worthy winner of #BirdoftheYear Well done on running such a great campaign to raise awareness of our endangered manu. Conservation for the win! #conservation#pekapeka#teamkiwi
