Roroa in the Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project (RNRP) are protected by the work of the Department of Conservation and a group of volunteers named the Friends of Rotoiti (FOR). It’s an excellent example of a successful collaboration involving the government and a local community. The work that FOR does to protect roroa includes controlling rats, stoats, possums and feral cats by setting traps and monitoring for pest presence. It also monitors kiwi and other native animals such as kākā, lizards and robin populations in the RNRP territory.

Card
Every other annual Kiwi specimen coin came mounted on a standard sized card. The card design has changed this year to a fold over cover. It looks terrible and does not now match the previous coin issues. Bad move by NZ post.
