So cute!
This is part of an ongoing, active effort to restore "wētāpunga, the largest of 11 species of giant wētā", and other species. "Last Wednesday just over 300 juvenile wētāpunga were released onto two islands in the Bay of Islands, where community conservation group Project Island Song has been working for almost 20 years to restore native flora and fauna."
