One kiwi has died due in Northland as result of dehydration due to a dry, hot summer in the region.
This comes on the heels of a report that 2019 was the hottest year on record in 140 years - with no indication temperatures will stabilise any time soon. This has raised questions about the welfare of animals in the time of climate change - does it pose the next great threat to our endangered species?
Joining us is Forest and Bird north island regional manager, Dr Rebecca Stirnemann.
