00:00:36,773 --> 00:00:40,453
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, you have been well making mates in the

12
00:00:40,453 --> 00:00:43,053
Speaker 2: garden as you always do. You've been visiting Sanctuary Mountain

13
00:00:43,333 --> 00:00:44,453
Speaker 2: in Manga totally.

14
00:00:45,493 --> 00:00:46,493
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been there.

15
00:00:46,733 --> 00:00:48,613
Speaker 2: I haven't, no, but I've heard great things.

16
00:00:48,653 --> 00:00:53,053
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, right, it's a three four hundred hectares of

17
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:55,893
Speaker 3: habitat if you like, and it's been to make prayer

18
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:59,693
Speaker 3: to free. They've got three cackapops. They've got fewer now

19
00:00:59,733 --> 00:01:04,293
Speaker 3: because they keep on escaping little Yeah. Yeah, they climb

20
00:01:04,333 --> 00:01:06,173
Speaker 3: into a tree and then they saw down. But that said,

21
00:01:06,173 --> 00:01:09,453
Speaker 3: I was, so we've got take the stitchbird settle back Kaka.

22
00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:12,933
Speaker 3: But they've also got two thousand or probably more North

23
00:01:12,973 --> 00:01:18,373
Speaker 3: Island brown Kiwi. So as a as a person, who's

24
00:01:18,413 --> 00:01:20,573
Speaker 3: on the Kiwi Trust. We had our meeting there, but

25
00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:23,853
Speaker 3: that's not really what struck me. We have meetings quite often.

26
00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:26,133
Speaker 3: I mean, you know that's not the point. But the

27
00:01:26,213 --> 00:01:28,933
Speaker 3: cold thing is there's book here tour school. So I'll

28
00:01:28,933 --> 00:01:32,013
Speaker 3: get back to that school in a moment. It's literally

29
00:01:32,093 --> 00:01:34,613
Speaker 3: on the on the on the inside or the outside

30
00:01:34,653 --> 00:01:37,733
Speaker 3: of the of Mangatati, and we visited that as well.

31
00:01:38,133 --> 00:01:41,893
Speaker 3: So this is basically a place where as a trust

32
00:01:42,093 --> 00:01:44,453
Speaker 3: we started all this time when John Key was Prime

33
00:01:44,493 --> 00:01:48,693
Speaker 3: Minister to to try to change the minus two percent

34
00:01:48,933 --> 00:01:52,253
Speaker 3: decrease of kiwi in New Zealand to a plus two

35
00:01:52,293 --> 00:01:56,733
Speaker 3: percent increase. And so this became one of the if

36
00:01:56,733 --> 00:01:59,693
Speaker 3: you like, cohungat kiwi, which of course is the kiwi

37
00:01:59,813 --> 00:02:03,333
Speaker 3: breeding side, if you like, oh they're like like kindergarten,

38
00:02:03,413 --> 00:02:07,173
Speaker 3: if you like. And John McLennan decided, but that was

39
00:02:07,653 --> 00:02:10,253
Speaker 3: made in the qtie. So I decided, this is what

40
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:11,773
Speaker 3: we're gonna do. We're going to put the heck of

41
00:02:11,773 --> 00:02:14,413
Speaker 3: a lot of good Kiwi in there. We make sure

42
00:02:14,413 --> 00:02:16,733
Speaker 3: they're not going to be eaten by stoats and ferrets

43
00:02:16,733 --> 00:02:19,213
Speaker 3: and all that sort of nonsense. And then what we're

44
00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:21,453
Speaker 3: going to do is when they're about a year or

45
00:02:21,453 --> 00:02:23,973
Speaker 3: so old or more than a kilo in a bit,

46
00:02:24,493 --> 00:02:26,613
Speaker 3: we're going to take them two places where they can

47
00:02:26,933 --> 00:02:32,733
Speaker 3: breed elsewhere where they can live elsewhere Capital Kiwi, Wellington, Tongariro, Taranaki, Manga,

48
00:02:32,773 --> 00:02:36,933
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. Now, yeah, this is a fa

49
00:02:37,213 --> 00:02:42,453
Speaker 3: This is actually a world renowned trick to look after

50
00:02:42,573 --> 00:02:47,093
Speaker 3: your your native species and that is so called. So yeah,

51
00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:49,373
Speaker 3: so that's how that went. So lastly we did was

52
00:02:49,373 --> 00:02:52,053
Speaker 3: at two and twenty two, so and this year we're

53
00:02:52,053 --> 00:02:55,253
Speaker 3: probably getting more than that. We'll see what happens. But

54
00:02:55,253 --> 00:02:58,573
Speaker 3: but the birds are caught at night. They're given a

55
00:02:58,693 --> 00:03:02,413
Speaker 3: tag sometimes a transponder and they kept in a little

56
00:03:02,453 --> 00:03:06,813
Speaker 3: guiden literally a little part of that mangatusi ready for that,

57
00:03:07,373 --> 00:03:09,653
Speaker 3: So that we got laid ten twenty thirty for them

58
00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:12,493
Speaker 3: in a bus literally drive them to wherever they need

59
00:03:12,533 --> 00:03:16,653
Speaker 3: to go. But now comes the thing. The kids that

60
00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:19,453
Speaker 3: put you to a primary school. They see all those

61
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:22,333
Speaker 3: gear we come in because they've got a spare classroom

62
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:28,253
Speaker 3: which is basically a science part for them to totally see.

63
00:03:28,093 --> 00:03:32,693
Speaker 4: And record what's happening. How old they are, isn't it cool?

64
00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:35,413
Speaker 4: How old they are, so whether they're male or female,

65
00:03:35,653 --> 00:03:38,573
Speaker 4: how they are, how is their health? Oh and there

66
00:03:38,613 --> 00:03:40,573
Speaker 4: are ticks on their legs, oh.

67
00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:45,373
Speaker 5: And that sort of stuff and it is such a cool,

68
00:03:45,933 --> 00:03:50,853
Speaker 5: cool thing. So these kids literally learn a lot about

69
00:03:50,893 --> 00:03:54,733
Speaker 5: what's happening with those birds, how we can literally look

70
00:03:54,853 --> 00:03:58,533
Speaker 5: after them, restore their numbers and all that sort of stuff.

71
00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:02,733
Speaker 5: And that is this is f you did you have

72
00:04:02,813 --> 00:04:03,813
Speaker 5: don a primary school?

73
00:04:04,813 --> 00:04:07,053
Speaker 2: I did, but not to that extent, never with a

74
00:04:07,133 --> 00:04:07,853
Speaker 2: keyw like that.

75
00:04:09,173 --> 00:04:09,653
Speaker 1: There you go.

76
00:04:10,093 --> 00:04:11,773
Speaker 3: So that's what it is. So you can actually go

77
00:04:11,853 --> 00:04:13,533
Speaker 3: and have a look there, and you can go and

78
00:04:13,773 --> 00:04:15,613
Speaker 3: manadady of course, and you can see it all happen.

79
00:04:15,893 --> 00:04:18,533
Speaker 3: But there you are, want it and I just want

80
00:04:18,573 --> 00:04:19,973
Speaker 3: to say, this is it brilliant?

81
00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:21,053
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's do it.

82
00:04:21,653 --> 00:04:23,173
Speaker 2: I gotta say too. Go and have a look at

83
00:04:23,173 --> 00:04:25,293
