Whenua Hou is one of three islands where kakapo live. It was selected because it closely approximates the natural habitat in which the kakapo once thrived.
The kakapo is no longer found on the mainland of New Zealand. Because of predation by cats, dogs, stoats and rats, the remaining birds have been moved to offshore islands. They are now found only on Anchor Island, Codfish Island (Whenua Hou) and Little Barrier Island (Hauturu).
