Author Sarah Ell's new book Lost Wonders: Vanished Creatures of Aotearoa is an all-ages introduction to the vanished creatures of Aotearoa New Zealand, from the long extinct species to those now on the brink. Sarah joins the show to discuss her new book, why she believes the South Island kokako is not actually extinct, and why we shouldn't be eating whitebait in restaurants.
