The simplest and most effective way in which one can help the kiwi's continued existence is to ensure one's own domestic pets are fully controlled. Domestic dogs, cats and introduced pet stoats have caused incredible damage to the kiwi population.

There are also various conservation groups set up to help the kiwi, and these programmes are always in need of donations. See the related question.

The kiwi is endemic to New Zealand. Its natural habitat is native forests but it is now found in kauri and coniferous forest where the undergrowth is dominated by tree ferns. However, due to habitat clearing, the kiwi is now forced to survive in semi-wooded forest, scrubland and agricultural areas. Kiwi are strong swimmers. Ways to help it include supervising domestic animals (dogs are responsible for a huge number of kiwi deaths) and to limit further deforestation. Being nocturnal helps the kiwi to avoid predators as it forages for food.

Can you save the Kiwis?

Yes. Anyone can help save the kiwis. You can help save them by doing simple things in your everyday life such as keeping the cat in at night or putting your dog on a leash while bushwalking. 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 save 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.
