in great britain to see how overlooked industrial waste lands are being turned into bug reserves. new zealand is rich in wildlife and because of its isolation there are hundreds of plants and animals that involved here that i've found nowhere else but human introduced pests have threatened and even want out many spacesuits one of those in the native one of congo it's one of the world's heaviest in six and has been around for one hundred ninety million years even out leaving the dinosaurs they used to be found although the new zealand but now big close to extinction. these amazing aging creatures play a financial role in the go system and without them other native plants and wildlife could also disappear forever.

2:26 pm
temperature conditions which upon go to these are the ones that you read so about some adult would appear in here it's incredible. to say one of the heaviest and six in the world this isn't at all funny so they don't get too much bigger than us which upon the can weigh up to seventy grams that's the equivalent of three small bites to think i can call it. a hoax or a big shot wow. that's incredible do they do they why not so they're totally flightless they've got really good chemists they're nocturnal so they're very very well adapted for. predators memos and just now on the mount says that when i started to die out they were considered really common and so the middle part of the writing hundreds and the humans extremely disturbed us threats new zealand and one to a century and i split stars heard from one island service provides the fact the bacon credible why would you say. they have all functions to play in the ecology so
2:27 pm
it's foliage does messy players and i was the ground. there's pieces which i read about in books as accounts are there were problems to be worked out the breeding program started in two thousand and twelve with only twelve since then over three and a half thousand in six have been released onto a few key islands which still provide the ideal conditions for them to flourish today bends readying a batch for transport. so they will be the easiest ones to learn because it allows. so this whole thing comes out i like to harden these little chairs touring and there's a surprise that you want to be taking to the island yeah once they've got a bit of sauce on them they're a little bit more a boston but if you're going to choose to decide to move on just pump you know if you're not sure was here yeah that's. right that's the first fame also just
2:28 pm
a tele here. what's the success rate of feel writing programs up to about eighty percent of all right which was really really good. didn't seem that set me back in the i'm sure that. that's what it was going to conjure a. sense everything that's going to really seems it's better here. we found three hundred eighty five ways have packed and ready to move it's time to head to the docks. we're off to a private island in the how to keep gulf one a for still hospitable to west. it's a one hour boat journey from the mainland. right ensued noid to the island's onus of avid conservationists who have given their land
2:29 pm
over to the protection of native species and. yeah yeah yeah right and in. fact have you. has been involved in the releases as much as possible in two thousand and three rodents who finally breed the island of basic mammals like rats stoats and feral cats making it a safe home full weight of hunger. we've never really looked at their selves as i mean as more as guardians of this wonderful place that we had privilege of growing up and how does releasing the one upon going to the island actually fit into all of your plans sorry they're critical to the health of the island nothing exists in our selection so the way to punk one of the missing links for them so many guys is and this is part of the jigsaw. crucial piece of the landscape here the young in sixty will need to be handled carefully. selecting the first export for their new
2:30 pm
home. how do you choose the spots where you release wes's yes so this is one of our early sites here and so we want to look for places got lots of modern spots and some where it's got lots and lots of good food plants as well. my goodness this is incredible how old is this tree just made to be about eight hundred years old. you can see the pellet from one of the little plan that's nice if you could wait around sometimes to take it presents if you can actually find them and that's obviously really important for the ecosystem and yes so that's one pixel in the tree and so they just recycle facing and that's good for the sun the soil help finding these droppings isn't totally a sign of a healthy environment but also evidence of an already thriving population that will surely boca you come this this is kind of the ideal spot where the best place in
2:31 pm
the wall and for them to be released into this is heaps and heaps and heaps of id holes for when opponent has one of their preferred food plants they can go from this tree industry as we ride across the whole forest syracuse but a huge ground on. the west who will be released at night when they are based active this peak tafe will help us find this spot in the dark later on. i can't believe they have trusted me with things what. are ah it's the start of the release thought here yeah. you can see a much more active when. you get. this one i'm going to release more
2:32 pm
on this trial now with mari ramos. so how important is it for you to re-establish what a pond i hear so often because of just giving back something that probably would have been here years and years ago hopefully the droppings will add to the forest. no own words and not on. his commercial soft touch on the back. so how much longer do you think you're retiring they source of releases for but a few more laces today and then after that it's mainly just monitoring the populations. out and the big one which upon the now exists on four islands as invasive predators us lowly removed from other locations that number is expected to rise the hope is that one day later punk could return to the mainland with
2:33 pm
a wants thrived. there is certainly the bill for change here in new zealand while people and institutions are taking action in support of native species the government has even committed to rid the country of human introduced pests by twenty fifteen there is still a bang way to go but at least the future is now looking optimistic full based upon the way. the plant's reproductive cells are found and it's pollen. when an insect visits a flower to feed off its nectar pollen rubs off from the male stayman on to.
