Ordinary people can play a part in helping ensure the kiwi's survival.
The biggest threat to the kiwi comes from dogs, feral cats and other imported pets including the stoat. Placing restrictions on imported pets, and restrictions on their unsupervised movement would go a long way towards helping preserve the kiwi.
Many kiwis are also killed every year by unregistered Pig-Hunting dogs. Tighter controls in this area could help, although registration of pig-hunting dogs does require Kiwi Aversion training.
Others are killed while crossing roads/highways, so increased signage (to raise awareness) and greater care by drivers in areas where there is signage could certainly save many kiwi lives.
Loss of habitat due to deforestation and destruction of large tracts of native bush is also endangering the kiwi. Not only does this threaten its food sources, but deforestation means the kiwi has fewer places to hide from its many predators. Reducing this ever-encroaching deforestation could help save the kiwi.
