Search for new kākāpō habitats urgent as islands full ahead of breeding season

Margaret Maree, a kākāpō from Codfish Island, has survived her battle with a potentially fatal fungal lung infection (first published in 2020).
The need for a new home for New Zealand’s critically endangered kākāpō is growing ever more important as the species nears a near breeding season.
Kākāpō currently reside on four predator-free islands – Codfish Island/Whenua Hou, Te Hauturu-o-Toi/Little Barrier Island, Chalky Island/Te Kakahu and Anchor Island.
But their current habitats have hit capacity and the Department of Conservation is searching for a new island.
