WEBINAR | History & Hope for New Zealand’s Flightless Birds
New Zealand’s isolation gave rise to some of the planet’s most unusual birds, many of them found nowhere else on Earth. Expedition Leader Jacob Emerson explores the extraordinary evolutionary history and conservation challenges of New Zealand’s rarest birds. Meet flightless species like the kiwi, kakapo and takahe—some of which number fewer than 500 individuals today—and discover the scientific and community-driven efforts to save them from extinction. During the presentation, you’ll also find out about the birds we encounter on our New Zealand Nature Explorer adventure.
