Predators such as rats, cats,
hedgehogs, stoats and
passage around in-stream barriers such as culverts,
dams and weirs.
Report sightings to the Taranaki Regional Council.
CONSERVATION
Giant kokopu have a conservation rating
of ‘At Risk, Declining’. They were once
very common and used as a primary
food source for Maori and early settlers.
THREATS
The main threats include:
Habitat loss and degradation.
Predation and competition by
introduced species.
Pieces
This issue looks closely at what a visit to the
Rotokare Scenic Reserve offers teachers and
their classes. While there are similar exciting
resources in other parts of New Zealand, it is
a very special place and being a pest-free
sanctuary, is at the top end of the nature
conservation spectrum. Educator Melissa
Jacobson is pictured with one of the kiwi
chicks currently staying at the reserve.
