Why do kiwi birds need protection?

The kiwi needs protection because it is an easy target for its predators, as it is small and flightless. It cannot run away fast enough, nor can it fly to safety. The kiwi digs a burrow for nesting, but an animal that has the scent of the kiwi is not easily deterred by a mere burrow. There are five recognised species of kiwi. Two are classified as endangered, while the others are eaither vulnerable or threatened. With the kiwi's habitat disappearing at a fast rate, this small, defenceless bird needs protection before it reaches extinction.
