Nau Mai, Haere Mai Katharina Hecht, Project Coordinator – Regional Kiwi Call Survey
PFHCCT is thrilled to welcome Katharina Hecht to our team as the Project Coordinator of the Regionwide Kiwi Call Survey. This important role was funded via Jobs for Nature funding through Save the Kiwi in order to secure forward momentum for the mahi being done all over the Coromandel to protect our national icon. The kiwi call survey will give insight into regional data and trends, allowing for a regional overview of the situation rather than one just at a project level.
An Exceptional Turnout Of Volunteers For The Inaugural Hauraki-Coromandel Regional Kiwi Call Survey
The inaugural peninsula-wide Regional Kiwi Call Survey has just wrapped up, following four nights of icy watchfulness by a throng of volunteers. Sitting silently at the same listening site for several hours over four nights as the temperature dwindled, these amazing people strained their ears to hear kiwi and record their calls in order to contribute to the Coromandel’s first regional population count of the beloved bird.
