Description

On three small predator-free islands off the coasts of Fiordland and Southland, preparations are underway for what many hope will be the biggest breeding season ever for the kÄkÄpÅ. Alison Ballance returns to report on New Zealand’s most famous parrot in the KÄkÄpÅ Files Season II. She chats to Claire about why this season of the podcast is shaping up to be quite different to the first. Plus, experts from the Science Media Centre summarise the massive science sector changes that have happened this year, and what is on the horizon for science in 2026.
