新西兰为拯救濒危物种作出了创纪录的努力,拯救了46个东棕卵。 New Zealand rescued 46 eastern brown kiwi eggs in a record effort to save the endangered species.

据悉,新西兰霍克湾的一个保护信托在2025年9月从Maungataniwha原生森林中获取了46只东部棕基维蛋,这标志着官员认为这是一次性收集的记录. A conservation trust in New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay retrieved 46 eastern brown kiwi eggs from the Maungataniwha Native Forest in September 2025, marking what officials believe is a record single-operation collection. 这些鸡蛋被空运到罗托鲁阿和陶普乌的孵化室进行孵化,小组在寒冷夜间工作,休息时间有限。 The eggs were flown to hatcheries in Rotorua and Taupō for incubation, with teams working through cold nights and limited rest. 一旦孵化,小鸡就会在无掠食动物的圈子里长大,直到它们重约一公斤,并准备被释放到保护区。 Once hatched, the chicks will be raised in predator-free enclosures until they weigh about one kilogram and are ready for release into protected areas. 2006年启动的Maungataniwha Kiwi方案现在帮助拯救了700多名kiwi,使其成为新西兰最成功的养护努力之一。 The Maungataniwha Kiwi Programme, launched in 2006, has now helped save over 700 kiwi, making it one of New Zealand’s most successful conservation efforts.
