What will happen if kiwi birds go extinct?

If deforestation continues, and kiwi no longer have anywhere to hide from domestic dogs and other creatures that continue to ravage their populations, kiwi are likely to become extinct in the wild On the New Zealand mainland. However, not all species of kiwi are currently endangered, and conservation programs seek to relocate kiwi to protected islands where deforestation will not be permitted, and where they are also safe from introduced predators. There are likely to always be some kiwi in protective captivity as well, so chances are good that the species, as a whole, will not become extinct.
