Takahē, is the inspiring story of the rediscovery and then recovery of the takahē, one of New Zealand’s most intriguing native birds. Once thought extinct, in 1948 Geoffrey Orbell found a small population living in a remote valley in the Murchison Mountains of Fiordland.
Alison Ballance charts the history of the Takahē Recovery Programme and the struggle to get the population to grow. After many setbacks, they have in recent years managed to build up a healthy population, which will pass 500 birds in 2023. This beautiful illustrated book is full of fascinating stories about the biology and lifestyle of this delightful bird.

A shout-out to Aotearoa's lesser known creatures
This book is a shout-out to the weird and wonderful endangered species in Aotearoa, those lesser-known creatures that don’t regularly make the news. But they are just as important as the ‘stars’ like kākāpō and kiwi, for they are the foundation of our unique biodiversity. Tiaki includes such exotic animals as the Smeagol gravel maggot, a sea slug found on the south coast of Wellington; the moko kākāriki, a gecko with a bright blue mouth; the kōwaro/Canterbury mudfish, which can survive out of water for up to several months; and the tiny, critically endangered pekapeka-tou-roa/ long-tailed bat. Written and beautifully illustrated by Jean Donaldson, this is a highly original and inspiring book aimed at intermediate-age children and teenagers.
