Such a precious little creature.

This organization came up with the Bird of the Year idea and it appears they're doing everything in their power to save as many as possible:

Forest & Bird is New Zealand’s leading independent conservation organisation — protecting wildlife and wild places, on land and in the sea.

For nearly a century we have been protecting and restoring Aotearoa's wildlife and wild places - on land and in the sea.

We are the voice for nature in our communities, to our city and district councils, to our regional councils, to central-government, and in our courts. No other organisation does this.

We do not receive government funding – we rely on the support from our members and supporters through membership fees, regular giving, donations and bequests. We speak for all our threatened species and treasured places, from endangered Maui’s dolphins to high-country tussock lands.
