It is our privilege to protect these kiwi, providing them a safe and comfortable environment, just as we provide our guests every night. During the 3-4 months stay at the crèche, they are given a burrow in a safe enclosure and learn to forage for food until they are large enough to defend themselves and be released into the wild. By opting out of having your room serviced for a single night, helps us conserve water and energy resources which we can then redirect into feeding a kiwi with Save the Kiwi.

Fiordland Kiwi Diaries

The Fiordland Kiwi Diaries is a compelling conservation project centered around the monitoring and protection of the endangered Fiordland kiwi (Apteryx rowi) population in New Zealand. Spearheaded by dedicated researchers, wildlife experts, and volunteers, this initiative aims to gain invaluable insights into the behavior, ecology, and population dynamics of these elusive birds. Using state-of-the-art tracking technology and meticulous field observations, the Fiordland Kiwi Diaries team meticulously records the movements and habits of kiwi, shedding light on their nesting patterns, foraging behaviors, and interactions with the environment. By studying kiwi in their natural habitat, the project contributes significantly to our understanding of this unique species and plays a pivotal role in guiding conservation strategies to ensure their long-term survival. The Fiordland Kiwi Diaries not only serves as a valuable scientific endeavor but also seeks to engage the public and raise awareness about the challenges facing these unique flightless birds.
