Canterbury hiking guides redeployed to protect critically endangered parrots


“Orange-fronted parakeets have been thought to be extinct twice, and without extensive predator control, this vulnerable taonga species again faces a similar fate,” Verrall said.

Hiking NZ guides head into Poulter Valley – a kakariki stronghold.
“The investment means Hiking New Zealand can keep their guides employed and expand their skills into conservation mahi like tracking, tunnel monitoring and trap setting.
“Workers will also spend some of their time on wilding conifer control work.”
The project would collaborate with local iwi to offer employment and training opportunities, and provide skills and experience that could lead to a career in conservation.
