Their population growth at sites like these is a major success story in the often stark realities of the conservation world, and offers hopeful and evidence based results to the value of conservation work.

Today there are an estimated 10,000 Kākā, most of which thrive on offshore islands around the mainland where no predators have reached (or where they have been eradicated), and some now on the mainland in and around key predator exclusion sites like the Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne Eco-Sanctuary.

While predation by invasive mammal (especially stoat) and land use change significantly reduced their population size, the species has shown remarkable recoverability when mammals are excluded from their habitat.
