A bird twice declared extinct, the Takahē population has now grown to over 500 and has multiple wild populations. This journey and internationally significant milestones have required uniquely kiwi innovation and boundless effort to be made possible. Come along to hear Jason speak about the role of the Takahē Recovery Programme, the future of the species, updates on wild populations and potential future release sights!
