The release of about 40 kiwi into Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki in the past week marks a step up in attempts to reintroduce the taonga into the national park.
About 110 kiwi are due to be released on Taranaki Maunga and Kaitake over the next few months, boosting the existing population while simultaneously relieving pressure on sanctuaries.
RNZ Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin has been on Kaitake.
