The nationally endangered Hutton’s shearwater/Kaikōura tītī (Puffinus huttoni) is the only seabird globally to breed in an alpine environment, with the only two breeding colonies remaining in the Seaward Kaikōura Range in the South Island of New Zealand. Kaikōura is therefore literally their last place on earth.

Ted Howard is the Chair of the Huttons Shearwater Trust, based in Kaikoura. He has said 'The talk will include a short intro on the birds and their biology and human history, an update on our artificial colony, an update on the Dark Sky Sanctuary, and some recent learnings on the bird, on use of technology, and some things we would do differently in doing something like this again.'
