One of New Zealand's rarest birds; The Hihi.
Maungatautari Mountain is one of the very few mainland sanctuaries that is home to the Hihi or Stitchbird. They now number in the low thousands on mainly offshore islands and are only found in New Zealand. This beautiful place is home to a number of endangered NZ species of birds and we are incredibly lucky to have it.

Poll: Do you think fining illegal dumpers will help reduce rubbish?
A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.
The council trialled notices with a “don’t be a tosser” message a couple of years ago, in an attempt to prick people’s consciences, but they weren’t successful, so it has gone the other way and started taking a tougher line.
Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
