As a volunteer I have been involved with the Hihi on Tiritiri Matangi Island helping with surveys and assisting the Hihi Contractors with their day to day duties at the busy times over the breeding season. As a Level 3 bander and mist-netter I have also been involved in most of the hihi translocations from Tiritiri Matangi Island. I have been a volunteer with Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi (SoTM) for over twenty years and have been on the SoTM Biodiversity Sub Committee since May 2003. One of my roles is to represent SoTM on the Hihi Recovery Group and I have been attending these meetings since 2007.
Around 200 people gathered at Unitec in Auckland, New Zealand for the 20th Anniversary party of hihi on Tiritiri Matangi Island. The night was co-organized by the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi Island and the Zoological Society of London. This near full house enjoyed an evening of food, drink and hihi entertainment. Congratulations to John […]
