"#Kiwi pukupuku are extremely vulnerable to introduced predators. Until now, it was believed they only survived in offshore islands and fenced predator-free sites. An estimated 2000 of the threatened #birds remain, though the population is increasing thanks to the #conservation efforts... Despite years of searching, the last known sighting of a #KiwiPukupuku on the mainland was in 1978."
