Together at Home

Well, here we are. A nation of parents, grandparents and children, together at home. He waka eke noa.

We wondered, what could our family do for your family? What can we share, now that all of our circumstances are shared?

Every day of this lock-down New Zealand Geographic will send a story or a video that can be shared among your family. The first one is below, and with it some talking points to fill our days at home together. If you’re a grandparent or a Kiwi overseas, you can participate too, and join your family discussion over phone or video conferencing.

Rarest of the rare

Rowi are the rarest of the rare—a species of kiwi so critically restricted in distribution and breeding success that they were almost done for. But a last-ditch effort—codenamed Operation Nest Egg—has dramatically changed the fortunes of the most imperilled kiwi in the world.

FOR YOUNGER READERS: If you're finding the story tricky, just look at the pictures and figure out what story the photographer is trying to tell.
