The rare Coromandel Brown Kiwi arrives at Motutapu
The Coromandel Brown Kiwi arrived at Motutapu Island yesterday in a helicopter. Conservationists hope their population will grow. 5 of that rare kiwi were released into the predator-less island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. In a major programme that is intending to help make the Kiwi's ability to survive better. An 11 day old chick, named Motutapu, after its new island home was the youngest released yesterday. It will be followed by up to another 50 Brown Kiwi over the next 4-6 years. Christine Fletcher, Chairwoman of the Motutapu Restoration Trust said the restoration of the island and conservation of the Kiwi is " about creating a second Auckland for our rare animals.... and to recreate our ancient world"
There are only 1500 Coromandel Brown Kiwi in the wild so they are very rare. The 5 birds that have been released on Motutapu have been micro-chipped for identification but they are not having their movements tracked. It is hoped that one day there will be around 300 Kiwi on Motutapu.

seriously wounded by the Taleban, to the UK for treatment, saying she would
need a long time in care to fully recover from the physical and mental effects
of the attack.
They shot
Malala Yousufzai and two of her
classmates as they were coming home from school in Pakistan’s northwest on Oct.
9 has left people mortified inside and outside the country. Tens of thousands
of people rallied in Pakistan's largest city to support her.
She was shot by the Taleban for promoting girls' education and complaining about the militant group.
Malala flew out of Pakistan on Monday morning in a specially equipped air ambulance ( A.K.A: a helicopter) provided by United Arab Emirates, said the Pakistani military, which has been treating the young girl at one of it's hospitals.
A bunch of doctors decided to send Malala to a centre in the UK "which has the capability to give good care to kids who have sustained severe injury," said the military.
Malala, who was shot in the head, will need to repair damaged bones in her skull and will require intensive "neuro rehabilitation." said the military. the decision to send the girl away was taken into consultation with her family, and the Pakistani government will pay for her treatment.
