The site shown here shows the work being done on the West Coast to incubate and hatch kiwi eggs. Once hatched the young kiwi chicks will be placed in a monitored, protected environment unitl they reach around one kilogram in weight. They will eventually be released into their native habitat once their increased weight enables them to protect themselves better against predators.
The primary goal of this blog is to provide a free and useful resource for students, to engage with independent language study out of class time. It can also be used by the classroom teacher to familiarise students with the functionality of the various sites and check that they are able to navigate the sites easily.

Koanga the first 'Rowi' kiwi to hatch at the West coast Wildlife Centre this season (Spring 2011). Seen here one week old, with kiwi ranger Fiona Gordon.
