Kakapo Recovery

With a population of just 148, kākāpō are critically endangered. Thankfully, here in New Zealand we have a small team of dedicated Department of Conservation rangers who work tirelessly to save this species - their work is supported by  thousands of people throughout the world. Join us here to find out more about kākāpō and to get an insight into the team and what they do for Kākāpō Recovery.

The Kākāpō Recovery Programme first began in 1995, when the population had fallen to an all time low of just 51 individual birds. With extra funding and a dedicated team of people as well as a specialised advisory group the kākāpō population has slowly grown since then.
