> The first complete audit of the conservation status of the 473 taxa of birds
> that have been recorded in New Zealand since first human contact (about 1000
> years ago) was carried out. Using the same ranking criteria, the assessments
> made in the audit were compared with those made in 2008 for the 428 taxa
> recorded post-1800. A total of 20 taxa moved to a more threatened status,
> while the status of 12 taxa improved, mainly as a result of successful
> conservation management. Overall, 77 species were assessed as being
> threatened with extinction, the same as in 2008; however, 25 rather than 24
> taxa were now classified as being Nationally Critical. A list of all 473 bird
> taxa and their conservation status in 2012 is presented.
