... that in the 1980s when Moturoa Island lost all its endangered kiwi to pest, experts reintroduced seven birds - today there could be as many as 400 kiwis on the island?

Source: Kiwi were reintroduced to the island in 1984–85, with seven (including three breeding pairs) transported from Waitangi.^[1]^[2] The reintroduction was very successful - Kiwi numbers today have soared. A local landowner said there was 'great debate' over how many Kiwi live on the island, but 'estimates range from 100-300'.^[1]
