Caption: Above: Reverse of the Series 3 $100 note, featuring the endangered
Takahe, a bird thought extinct but re-discovered in the late 1940s.
Other species, including the remaining varieties of huia, the kiwi, the flightless rail, the
takahe and the kakapo are all on the verge of disappearance.
They are an integral part of the conservation management of the New Zealand
takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri), an endangered flightless rail.

We visit a captive breeding programme for the critically endangered
takahe, a 2ft-high bird clinging by its beak to survival.
It is home to around a dozen species of endangered birds including the rare
Takahe, as well as the lizards and insects that live in a specially planted three-million native-tree sanctuary.

Around a dozen species of endangered birds, including the extremely rare
takahe, are now thriving.
New Zealand has no native species of land mammal (seals and dolphins are frequently seen in its fjords and along the coastline), however more than one hundred species of birds live in Te Wahipounamu including two of the three species of the flightless kiwis, wekas, rare
takahe and the endangered whio (blue duck).
There are a few heartening examples of so-called Lazarus species lost and then found: the Wollemi pine and the mahogany glider in Australia, the Jerdon's courser in India, the
takahe in New Zealand, and, maybe, the ivory-billed woodpecker in the United States.
Other victims of this fourth wave of extinction are the
takahe, kakapo, blue duck, and the minuscule remnant populations of burrowing seabirds.
