Mainstream conservation has been long dominated globally by the protected area paradigm. This approach has been widely challenged in recent years, and new conservation initiatives have emerged. The situation is mirrored in New Zealand, where ongoing biodiversity loss has prompted reappraisal. Within this context, we highlight the plight of kiwi, focusing on Northland and efforts there to (re)make space for this iconic bird which is at risk of extinction. While the state has primarily responded by fortifying "islands" on public conservation land, Far North communities are working in a variety of ways and localities, both within and beyond "the fortress", to secure a future for the "people's bird".

（重新）为猕猴桃创造空间：超越北国的“堡垒保护”

长期以来，主流保护一直由保护区范式主导。近年来，这种方法受到广泛挑战，出现了新的保护举措。新西兰也反映了这种情况，那里持续的生物多样性丧失促使人们重新评估。在此背景下，我们强调奇异鸟的困境，重点关注北国，并努力为这种濒临灭绝的标志性鸟类（重新）腾出空间。虽然该州主要通过在公共保护区加强“岛屿”作为回应，但远北社区正在“堡垒”内外以各种方式和地点开展工作，以确保“人民的鸟”的未来。
