Prior to Europeans coming to New Zealand, the kiwi enjoyed a healthy population.
The biggest threat to the kiwi comes from dogs, feral cats and other imported pets including the stoat, all of which were introduced by people. New Zealand has no native predators. Being a small, flightless bird, the kiwi's defenses are extremely limited. Many kiwis are also killed every year by unregistered Pig-Hunting dogs (registration requires Kiwi Aversion training) and being killed while crossing roads/highways.
Other human activities have caused the kiwi to be endangered. Loss of habitat due to deforestation and destruction of large tracts of native bush has endangered the kiwi. Not only has this threatened its food sources, but deforestation has meant the kiwi has fewer places to hide from its many predators.
