NZ Raptor Trust releases 175 injured raptors in a decade
A Timaru-based bird rescue organisation has rehabilitated and released 175 injured raptors over its first 10 years of operation.
The NZ Raptor Trust has spent a decade caring for injured birds of prey and returning them to the wild. The organisation, which started in a backyard, has now grown to release 175 raptors back into the environment. The trust's work demonstrates a significant conservation effort for New Zealand's bird of prey populations.
