Kiwi restoration project is going quite well. In 2018 we were hoping for conservation efforts to get a 2% (2600) increase in pop and they managed 7000 instead.

The strat is to raise them in a safe place until they're big and then let them go. The teenagers and adults have less trouble surviving its the babies who are super vulnerable.

I genuinely thought kiwi birds were extinct

Are you thinking of dodos? Both have short repetition in their name, but those guys are gone.

At one point they were gone from the wild. But we have a few small islands that are pest free. The kiwis were able to live there. Now we are clearing the mainland of rats and stoates and releasing kiwis back into the wild.
