Watch a video about New Zealand’s tuatara and find out how the tuatara ‘headstart’ programme works.

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

New Zealand’s tuatara has been around since the time of the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, it is no longer found on the mainland, due to introduced predators.
