It takes tua to tango
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- Less than 18 months ago, tuatara were extinct in the wild on mainland New Zealand. However, in December 2005 an arrangement between Ngati Koata and Wellington’s award-winning Karori Sanctuary saw 70 Cook Strait tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) transferred from Stephens Island (Takapourewa) to the 225ha wildlife sanctuary in the capital.
