Southern Lakes Sanctuary on RNZ

We’re proud to be a part of the team of conservationists and scientists looking out for the mohua at Makarora in conjunction with Forest & Bird Central Otago Lakes Branch, Atarau Sanctuary and Department of Conservation (DOC).

Claire Concannon from RNZ visited to find out more about efforts to trap predators, catch and band birds, and use a new acoustic machine learning tool to identify individual birds by their song 

Our research and protection of the mohua in Makarora is thanks to funding from Science Into Action, Mohua Charitable Trust, The Leslie Hutchins Conservation Foundation and The Tūpiki Trust.
