Resources

A lot of great information can be found in our “How to Save Kiwi” guide. Click here to view it on our youtube channel.

Whenever we find a new resource we know will help kiwi conservationists, we add it to the toolbox. Please contact enquiries@kiwisforkiwi.org if you:

have, or know of, any good resources or information that aren’t yet here
would like a link to your kiwi group added to links and other resources
would like our help to track down specific information – if it doesn’t exist already, we may be able to develop it
have any ideas for activities we can add to the Kiwi classroom

The Department of Conservation Skillable youtube channel has a range of training videos to teach you everything from setting a DOC 200 trap to using a data logger.
