	Tiritiri Matangi Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tiritiri Matangi Island lies in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand, 4 km east of Whangaparaoa Peninsula on the North Island and 30 km north east of Auckland.
		The first people to settle on Tiritiri Matangi were Māori of the Kawerau iwi.
		The island was farmed from 1894 to 1971 when the lease expired and management was vested in the Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park Board which ceased farming operations.

	[No title]
		Tiritiri Matangi is a 220 ha offshore island in the Hauraki Gulf, 3.5km east of Whangaparaoa Peninsula and 28 km north of Auckland.
		The island continued to be leased for farming until 1971, when most of it was left to return to bush.
		The overall goal proposed by the plan was to manage Tiritiri Matangi as a suitable habitat for some of our endangered flora and fauna, where people, particularly Aucklanders, could ultimately view these species in their natural environment.

	Tiritiri Matangi Island - About the Island
		The idea was to re-vegetate Tiritiri Matangi with plants grown on the island from seed sourced from the island and to release rare and endangered species of birds on the island so that visitors could see them in their natural habitat.
		Tiritiri Matangi ('a place tossed by the wind') was settled by the Kawerau-A-Maki tribe.
		The island was farmed continuously until the 1970's, when the Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park Board was given responsibility for Tiritiri and the last of the stock removed.

		Stephens Island covers an area of 2.6 sq km (1 sq mile), and is the most distant island off the northern tip of the South Island adjoining the Marlborough Sounds.

		There are quite a few other nice places on the east and north of the island, but there isn't enough space to show them, so we'll jump straight to this spot at the bottom of the cable road on the west coast.

	Tiritiri Matangi 1998
		The island is about one mile by three and was farmed until the 1970's when the Department of Conservation took over its control.
		Islands like Tiritiri Matangi provide wonderful opportunities to reintroduce individual species that still can be found, and then allow them to increase population in an environment that simulates the way things used to be.
		This is one of the species that has been reintroduced on Tiritiri, and it was thrilling to be able to see them in the wild, doing their own thing again.

	Ecoquest New Zealand
		By 1900, virtually none of the original coastal vegetation remained on the island, and until 1970, it was used extensively for grazing.
		In the late 1970s, the Tiritiri Matangi restoration and revegetation project was embarked upon.
		The revegetation of Tiritiri and the removal of predators, such as rats, have restored the island's capacity as a wildlife habitat, and currently it houses some of New Zealand's most threatened wildlife species.

		The birds on Tiritiri are descendants of the Hen Island birds, representing the north Island subspecies.

		Tiri (as it is known) was, until fairly recently, grazed by sheep until the government decided to cancel the lease on the land and transform the island into an 'open sanctury' for native plants and animals.
		Islands are used as sancturies, as they are (realisticaly) the only policeable area in terms of ensuring no mammals exist on the land.
		The sanctury islands remain the last hope for the many birds and plants that simply can not evolve quick enough to cope with the new predators.
