Introduction

The kakī is one of the world’s rarest wading birds. In the 1980s, their numbers plummeted to 23 adult birds. However, the captive management programme at Twizel is making a real difference, as this video reveals.

This video is part of the Meet the Locals series that was originally shown on TVNZ.
