Conservationists have actually set their sights on a brand-new home for New Zealand’s rarest parakeet types, to help enhance its population.

The Department of Conservation and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu are proposing that Pukenui Island in Fiordland ends up being a brand-new environment for kākāriki karaka, or orange-fronted parakeets.

DOC’s kākāriki karaka operations supervisor, Wayne Beggs, said there were just about four-hundred of the birds left in the nation and developing a population on the island would be substantial to their healing.

“On the mainland they’re truly susceptible to predators so it’s rather a great deal of effort to safeguard them from rats and stoats particularly.”

Beggs hoped the parakeets might be launched at Pukenui Island in spring 2024.
