Kiwi Forever

This resource aims to build understanding of the significance of the kiwi and its importance to us as a people by providing a framework to help teachers plan activities and lessons based around New Zealand's national bird.

It is the result of more than 12 months of research, writing and reviews and has been heralded as a template for how education resources should be created.

In 1800, millions of kiwi lived in forests, scrub and sand dunes. Today, only about 70,000 kiwi are left in all of New Zealand, and the place we’re most likely to see them is a zoo or bird sanctuary.
