A report from the Department of Conservation finds Kiwis are visiting conservation areas in droves, but some are behaving badly in our own back yard. The 2020/21 Visitor Insights report finds visitors are leaving litter, not using toilets, damaging tracks with four wheel drives, and allowing dogs to disturb native birds.
