September 13 2009 – Auckland Zoo Welcomes Sirocco the Kakapo

September 13 2009

I attended Auckland Zoo on the 13th to take part in celebrating the arrival of the super celebrity Kakapo – Sirocco. Associate Minister of Conservation Kate Wilkinson gave a superb speech and mentioned her meeting with Sirocco’s sister Hoki on Codfish Island.

There are now 124 Kakapo in NZ as a result of a very succesful breeding program. Join Sirocco’s facebook page here
