Kakapo are endemic to New Zealand. Although on e widespread throughout the mainland, they are now only found on islands off the southern coast. They were moved there for their own protection because of predation by cats, dogs, stoats and kiore (Polynesian rats). In 2014, they are now found only on Anchor Island, Codfish Island (Whenua Hou) and Little Barrier Island (Hauturu). These islands are essentially made up of thick bushland which is closest to the kakapo native habitat.
