Meet Some of the Team

Meet some of the team
Throughout New Zealand, a great many people are working to save kiwi.

It’s a diverse group, including scientists and kiwi rangers, captive management teams, iwi, community groups, landowners and BNZ staff.  Together they contribute many hundreds of hours, often as volunteers.

To give you an insight into the wealth of experience, expertise and commitment dedicated to saving the kiwi, we have a few profiles of some of the many people involved.
