Dotterel populations in The Hawkes Bay w/ George Hobson

The Hawke's Bay Regional Council commissioned a team to survey dotterel populations in the region. The team led by ornithologist Nikki McArthur walked 320km of coastline, and found that the population had doubled in the past decade, from 86 birds to 222. It was completed in 2021, and the results have just been released. Stella speaks to George Hobson, the chief policy lead for Forest and Bird youth, about the increase.
