Inspiring communities to protect kea, the world's only mountain parrot
The Kea Conservation Trust web-site aims to provide an easily accessible centralised resource for information and research on kea and the issues impacting on this species and its habitat.
If you have additional relevant research or literature which is not yet loaded on this page, please contact us so that we may make it available to all interested parties.
A number of scientific publications and document pdfs are provided below. For a full bibliography with links please visit our Bibliography page.
Many thanks to all of those organisations who have allowed access to these for the purpose of greater awareness of kea conservation.
Our annual full colour publication showcases all things kea over the past year. A hardcopy of this magazine is sent out to all of our members and sponsors while an electronic version is available online free. To see our previous newsletters visit our Annual Newsletters page.
If you would like to be a sponsor for our 2014 edition, please contact us via the website.
All About Kea – a framework to focus kea conservation initiatives (2015) and associated documents (Focal areas 1-3 and our Standard Operating Producers (Safe Pest Control and Kea First Aid)), can be accessed here.
Much of the work that we do involves community volunteers in the mountains of the South Island. Making sure that both our volunteers and our contractors are safe in this extreme environment, is paramount to the KCT.
