    Is your garden ready for a kākā visit? With increased predator control across Dunedin we are starting to experience more native birds, including kākā, in our backyards. Join Maureen Howard, as she visits with Communications and Advocacy Lead Taylor Davies-Colley at Orokonui Ecosanctuary. Listen in to find out - how we can live well with kākā, the benefits of big old trees - native or exotic, and why having a 1000 year plan is a perfect timeline for successful rewilding.

    Rewilding requires ecological corridors to connect ecologically significant habitats. However in urban areas, native forest remnants are often isolated from one another, surrounded by multiple landowners. Join Maureen Howard, as she chats with her guests Rachel Gibb and Ursula Ellenberg from Ravensbourne - where landowners have been working together to restore a stream gully spanning eight property blocks and where donkeys have helped restore native bush on Rachel's land!

Join me, Maureen Howard as I chat with my guest Associate Professor Michael Knapp from the Department of Anatomy at Otago University. Taking a long time scale perspective, Michael helps shed some light on some of the ecological issues in recent rewilding episodes and how we can work better with nature.
