Francesca Cunninghame: saving rare chicks in the Galapagos

From Nine To Noon, 10:07 am on 28 April 2020


Kathryn Ryan speaks with Francesca Cunninghame, a Kiwi committed to bird conservation projects on different sides of the world. One is on the Galapagos Islands, where she's trying to save rare mangrove finch chicks.

The other project is here in Otago, working with Titi (Muttonbird) which is where she should be now, were it not for the fact Francesca is stuck in isolation on the edge of Salasaca, her partner's remote village in the foothills of the Ecuadorian Andes.
