Dogs have mauled at least one kiwi and "probably more" in Hawke's Bay's Maungataniwha Native Forest south of Te Urewera, Forest Lifeforce Restoration Trust says. She was released into the Maungataniwha Native Forest in February 2018. The trust's Maungataniwha Kiwi Programme looks set to return more than 50 young birds to the forest this season.
