Hello and welcome to Our Changing World.

Ko Claire can count on tēnei.

The Taraite story begins with a tiny bird on the brink of extinction.

But thanks to concerted conservation efforts in the last few years, numbers are growing.

Migrant birds are still causing issues today, bringing the threat to New Zealand's bird life that's on everyone's mind.

H5N1 bird flu.

Claire's done a couple of great episodes on this.

But in relation to Taraiti, Ayla says they're exploring all avenues to protect them.

This episode was produced by Ayanna Piper-Hillian and sound engineering was by Rangi Poik.
