| has gloss | eng: The Tuku Nature Reserve lies in the Tuku-a-tamatea (Tuku) River Valley in the south-west of the island of Rehoku, the main island in New Zealand’s Chatham Islands group in the south-west Pacific Ocean. It is important for the conservation of the critically endangered Magenta Petrel (Pterodroma magentae), or Chatham Island Taiko, a small burrow-nesting seabird. The Reserve is based on 1238 ha of land still largely covered with dense native forest, donated by Manuel and Evelyn Tuanui for the conservation management of the Taiko, with adjacent land covenanted for the same purpose. |
