There are a number of conservation programmes in place to protect the kiwi and (hopefully) increase its numbers.
The Kiwi Recovery Programme was initiated by the New Zealand government in 1991, and has been financially supported by the Bank of New Zealand and the Forest and Bird Society.
Research has been undertaken to learn more about the kiwi's needs and breeding habits. It is believed that 95% of young chicks do not survive past their first six months, and so captive breeding programmes have been established to improve the number of chicks. "Operation Nest Egg" involves the hatching of kiwi eggs in protected places such as Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre, Auckland Zoo or Native Bird Recovery Centre in Whangarei, and releasing the chicks when they are much older. This has increased the survival rate of chicks to as much as 85%. Also, the use of DNA testing has enabled people involved in breeding programmes to identify unrelated kiwi that would breed stronger chicks by minimising in-breeding.
In addition, there are kiwi sanctuaries at Coromandel, Tongariro Forest, Okarito, Haast and Whangarei.
Trust and protection plans include:
- Bank of New Zealand Save the Kiwi Trust
- Rainbow Springs
- Moehau Environment Group
- Otanewainuku Kiwi Trust
- Karori Wildlife Sanctuary Trust

Kiwis and hummingbirds share several similarities despite being quite different in size and habitat. Both are flightless, with kiwis being ground-dwelling birds from New Zealand and hummingbirds being small, agile birds known for their ability to hover and fly backward. They are also both nectarivorous, relying on flowers for food, although kiwis primarily consume insects and worms. Additionally, both species exhibit unique adaptations, such as kiwis having a keen sense of smell and hummingbirds possessing rapid wing beats.

The number of half-cup servings you can get from 3 kiwis depends on their size, but on average, 3 medium-sized kiwis yield about 1 to 1.5 cups of diced fruit.
