	<description>In 1987 Dunedin conservationists formed the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust with the aim of saving the penguin by restoring coastal forest and controlling predators. The penguin is the focus but the Trust's efforts also benefit other native species of plant and animal.  The Trust is based in Dunedin but manages land and penguin interests in the whole of mainland New Zealand.</description>

This will be extended to include Long Point/Irahuka in 2010-2011. Transponders are used as a method of marking animals using a tiny microchip embedded in glass which is inserted under the skin with a needle, often [...]<br>

		<description><![CDATA[The Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust has just completed the first year of a planned five-year study to measure the effects of cat predation on yellow-eyed penguins on Stewart Island&#8217;s north-eastern beaches. But instead of cat predation, what we found was as yet unexplained high chick death rate. Because of an apparent decrease in yellow-eyed penguin numbers [...]<br>
