Ko te Kākāpō he manu ngahere nō Aotearoa. He manu haerepō, tau ki te whenua, kaore e rere. Ko ngā huruhuru he kāriki kōtiwhatiwha o te tuarā, he kārikikaho o te poho. He manu whakamīharo te manu nei. I ēnei wā, ka nohoia tonutia e taua manu he wāhi kōtahitahi nei o Aotearoa. Ko aua wāhi i Maud Island, i Fiordland, i Whenua Hou, i Hauturu. Ko te whakaaro, i tae-ā-parirau mai ōna tūpuna; i te kore kararehe konihi o konei, i ngaro ai te kaha o ōna parirau. Nō te tukunga atu e Tauiwi o te ngeru o ngā kiore, o ērā atu o ngā kararehe konihi, i ngaro kē atu te nuinga o ngā Kākāpō. Nō te tau 1995, e 50 ngā Kākāpō kei te ora tonu. I nāia tonu nei, kua tae ki te 87 te nama o ngā Kākāpō kua rehitatia. Ko ia tonu te manu kotahi o te puninga Strigops o te whānau Strigopinae hoki.
