Figures vary, but the count of kiwi in New Zealand, as of 2008, was believed to be 72,600.

There are five species of kiwis (some sources say seven), and their conservation status varies.

The Okarito Kiwi, or Rowi (Apteryx rowi) is critically endangered.

The brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) is endangered.

The little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii), great spotted kiwi (Apteryx haastii) and tokoeka(Apteryx australis) are classified as vulnerable.

Sources vary on this.

It is generally accepted that there are five species of kiwi.

  • Brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli)
  • Rowi, or Okarito Rowi (Apteryx rowi)
  • Tokoeka (Apteryx australis)
  • Great spotted kiwi or roroa (Apteryx haasti)
  • Little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii)

According to the related weblink below, the Brown kiwi is then divided into four distinct groups: the Northland, Coromandel, western and the eastern brown kiwi; while the Tokoeka is also divided into four distinct groups - the Haast tokoeka, the northern Fiordland tokoeka, the southern Fiordland tokoeka and the Stewart Island tokoeka.

However, the 'Checklist of the Birds of New Zealand' by the Ornithological Society of New Zealand, published 2010, lists seven species:

  • Great Spotted (A. haastii)
  • Little spotted (A. owenii)
  • North Island Brown (A. mantelli),
  • Okarito Brown (A. rowi)
  • South Island Brown (A. australis australis)
  • Southern brown (A. australis)
  • Stewart Island brown (A. australis lawryi)

The number of kiwi in the wild is not known, as no new surveys have been done for several years.

Figures vary, but the approximate count of wild and captive kiwi in New Zealand, as of 2008, was believed to be 72,600.
