The Capital Kiwi Project

The Capital Kiwi Project is restoring a large-scale wild kiwi population to Wellington’s backyard.

The kiwi is our icon and central to our identity; our culture. When key predator threats are removed and a community is on board as guardians, people and kiwi can successfully live together. Our commitment is to create a future where we share the land with the bird we take our name from.

The ambitious community conservation project was dreamed up and is driven by locals. It is founded on the support of landowners, tangata whenua and community. While unprecedented in scale, the vision is also realistic. Our team includes some of New Zealand’s most experienced kiwi conservation and pest control experts, who have successfully delivered growing populations of kiwi in other parts of the country.
