The tāiko/Chatham Island tāiko is one of the rarest seabirds in the world and was believed to be extinct for over 100 years before its rediscovery in the 1970s. There are only about 15 known breeding pairs remaining. They breed exclusively in the dense forests at the southern tip of Rēkohu Island.

Drawing based on a photo by H. Shirihai, the Tubenoses Project

Each tee is hand-printed to order using water based inks.

$5 from this t-shirt is donated to the Chatham Island Tāiko Trust
