Takahē are the rock stars of conservation science. These resources support NZC Living World ecology levels 2 and 3:

how living things are suited to their particular habitat
how they respond to environmental changes.

Takahe are flightless birds and have adaptations that allow them to live in their isolated alpine habitat - big legs and bodies, strong beaks to strip the tussock grasses.

They have struggled with environmental change. Human and introduced predators reduced their habitats and population numbers. Scientists have had to try many different approaches when introducing them to new habitats.

In 2018, a new wild population was successfully established.
