Featured article
Tokoeka are the largest of the kiwi, with males weighing up to 3.3 kg and females up to 4.2 kg. They have soft, brown feathers streaked with black and reddish brown, long pale bills, short legs and toes, and no tail. They are nocturnal, except on Stewart Island where they sometimes forage during the day. They have a keen sense of smell and use their bills to probe the ground for invertebrates, such as worms, beetles, cicadas and moths. They also eat some fallen fruit and leaves.
Tokoeka have distinctive calls that they use to communicate with their mates and to mark their territories. The male gives a high-pitched ascending whistle repeated 15-25 times, while the female gives a lower-pitched hoarse cry repeated 10-20 times.
Featured interview

A group of wild but non-native monkeys on the island of Sint Maarten is at the center of a controversial debate over their future. The government of Sint Maarten received a letter in March 2023, signed by 75 experts in primate and animal protection, urging them to reconsider plans to cull these monkeys as a means of population control. Born Free USA, a renowned animal protection organization, leads the effort to save these monkeys.
Despite the expertise behind this plea, the government has yet to respond, leaving the fate of these animals hanging in the balance.
Full Interview:Death sentence handed to wild monkeys of Sint Maarten, can we still save them

In a study posted last year, it was found that trophy hunters killed one animal every THREE minutes over the last decade.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has reported we have a decade left to help turn back the clock on preventing even larger scale climate disasters and rewilding of endangered species like the elephant and wolf can help promote healthier ecosystems which results in a healthier planet for you and me.
