Search for new kākāpō habitats urgent as islands full ahead of breeding season

Chris McKeen/Stuff
Margaret Maree, a kākāpō from Codfish Island, has survived her battle with a potentially fatal fungal lung infection (first published in 2020).
The need for a new home for New Zealand’s critically endangered kākāpō is growing ever more important as the species nears a near breeding season.
Kākāpō currently reside on four predator-free islands – Codfish Island/Whenua Hou, Te Hauturu-o-Toi/Little Barrier Island, Chalky Island/Te Kakahu and Anchor Island.
But their current habitats have hit capacity and the Department of Conservation is searching for a new island.

Looking at places far, far away

The Send Your Name to Mars Campaign attracted 11 million respondents from around the world. Their names were stencilled by electronic beam onto 15 millimetre-sized silicon chips, along with 155 finalists’ essays from the Name the Rover contest. The chips were then attached to a metal plate becoming part of the actual space vehicle.
Fagg has been fascinated with the universe and beyond since he was a child and can’t wait to see the landing.
His enthusiasm for the project is because it is the first purpose built, car size, rover to look for ancient microbial signs of life and take samples from the surface, which will be brought back to earth through a future project, he said.
