Habitat destruction is a major threat to kiwis, as it reduces the availability of suitable habitat for the birds and can lead to population declines. Human activities such as logging, agriculture, and urbanization have all contributed to habitat loss and fragmentation in New Zealand, which has had a negative impact on kiwi populations. In addition to habitat loss, introduced mammalian predators such as stoats, rats, and feral cats also pose a significant threat to kiwis and their habitat. Conservation efforts, such as habitat restoration and predator control, are crucial for the long-term survival of kiwis.
