The only lace one could find a kakapo now is on certain offshore islands of southern New Zealand. Because of predation by cats, dogs, stoats and rats, and the status of the kakapo as "critically endangered", all remaining kakapo have been moved to protected islands where their progress is carefully monitored. 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.
