		The Haast Tokoeka is one of the rarest breeds of Kiwi, with only 200 to 300 birds known to populate a few small areas of New Zealand.
		The Haast Tokoeka Kiwi's diet is similar to that of other Kiwi, feasting on invertebrates underground, and the occasional wild berry it finds on the forest floor.
		The Haast Tokoeka is rare, specifically because of its living environment.

		Southern tokoeka are similar in height and weight to the North Island brown kiwi, and its' close relative the Haast tokoeka.
		The Southern tokoeka's brown and grey plumage is softer than the North Island brown, and its bill is cream to light pink.
		Their area in the vicinity of the Cascade and Haast Rivers of South Westland, is separated from the smallest kiwi population, the Okarito brown kiwi, by 150 km of forested ranges and coastal lowlands.

		Seven rowi kiwi chicks were moved in January from the Okarito sanctuary to predator-free Motuora Island in the Marlborough Sounds, and four tokoeka chicks from Haast were taken to the Burwood Reserve at Te Anau.
		Department of Conservation rescues were necessary because of another masting season that caused a proliferation of rats and a consequent stoat plague.
		There are no managed sanctuaries for Southern tokoeka which is in the Fiordland region and Stewart Island, or great spotted kiwi which is in the north western region of the South Island.

		Scientific research and careful monitoring of Kiwis through the Kiwi Recovery Programme is providing vital information on the life cycle of the birds as well as incubation of eggs, rearing chicks and on how to deal with predators.
		Haast Tokoeka - Apteryx australis Living from sea level to the high alpine basins of south-west New Zealand, some of these kiwi spend the whole year in sub-alpine grasslands, even though most of the area is snow-covered in winter.
		The Haast Tokoeka was identified as a distinct variety in 1993.

	Haast Kiwi Sanctuary - Biodiversity
		Like the Okarito brown kiwi (rowi), tokoeka is ranked by the Department of Conservation as ‘nationally critical’.
		An Operation Nest Egg programme may be introduced at the sanctuary to boost the productivity of tokoeka in the future.
		Increasing the number of adult birds fitted with transmitters is a slow process as catching tokoeka on the rugged Haast Range is difficult.

		The Southern Tokoeka Kiwi is a fascinating bird to watch and study.
		The Southern Tokoeka Kiwi is very protective of its home range, and will protect a large area for itself where it can safely burrow as many places as it likes.
		Despite the fact that the Southern Tokoeka is a relatively successful species, it is still an endangered species of bird and steps are being taken to preserve it.

		I think that after meeting the people and the students, in particular, the most exciting thing was an adventure up and down the Waitoto River.
		This river runs to the sea in south Westland passing by a kiwi sanctuary where the rare Haast Kiwi or Tokoeka lives.
		Tokoeka are thought to be the most primitive kiwi in New Zealand and is mountain loving living high up near the snow line.

		Two kiwi eggs were transferred from the Sanctuary on Tuesday November 4 to be incubated at the Kiwi and Birdlife Park in Queenstown as part of the Bank of New Zealand Kiwi Recovery’s Operation Nest Egg programme.
		The technique of incubating tokoeka eggs is being confirmed as a backup measure in case a stoat plague occurs inside the sanctuary during a breeding season.
		The sanctuary is home to an estimated 200-300 tokoeka which are ranked as a nationally critical species.

		Over the 2005 - 2006 season Willowbank has become involved in the South Island Operation Nest Egg Programme where eggs from Haast Tokoeka and Okarito Brown Kiwi are taken from the wild to hatch at the facility run by the New Zealand Conservation Trust based at Willowbank.
		It is expected over the next season that up to 60 eggs will be pulled from the wild to be incubated in this way as the predation in these areas is very difficult to control.
		There is a small range of colour for these kiwi, from russet red to almost fl and the occasional albino.

	The Kiwi Family:Tokoeka
		Tokoeka evolved into Brown Kiwi, Rowi and the four varieties of Tokoeka.
		Southern Fiordland Tokoeka and Northern Fiordland Tokoeka can be found high up in the mountains of their South Island home.
		Except for the Haast Tokoeka, the other varieties are generally larger than their northern Brown Kiwi cousins, and can grow almost as big as the Great Spotted Kiwi.

	Ecology of the Kiwi
		The Haast Tokoeka live in southwest New Zealand (in Westland) across a broad range of altitudes (from sea level to mountains), while the Southern Tokoeka live in Fiordland and on the relatively-untouched Stewart Island.
		The Southern Tokoeka, the most communal of the varieties, is sometimes spotted in small groups.
		Male kiwis establish their territory at 2-5 years of age, females at 3-5 years of age; however, they do not usually breed until they are 5-6 years old, as kiwis reportedly grow at a slowly.

	The Kiwi Family:Fiordland Tokoeka
		Until 2006, the two varieties of Fiordland Tokoeka were thought to be the same as the birds found on Stewart Island.
		Stewart Island birds are bigger than Fiordland birds, and southern Fiordland Tokoeka are generally bigger than Northern Fiordland Tokoeka, but they look more-or-less the same and measurements overlap.
		The population of Southern Fiordland Tokoeka is estimated to be 5000.

		The kiwi is the smallest living member of the ratite family (Apterygidae), a group of flightless birds which includes the rheas of South America, the ostriches of Africa, the emu of Australia and the extinct moa of New Zealand.
		There are six different species of kiwi, The Little Spotted Kiwi, Great Spotted Kiwi, Brown Kiwi, Okarito, Haast Tokoeka and the Southern Tokoeka.
		This country’s ancient isolation and lack of mammals allowed the kiwi to occupy a habitat and lifestyle that elsewhere would be occupied by mammals.
