A bit of good news because there's fuck all of that around at the moment. Just got this on my Ngai Tahu mailing list:

First tuatara hatchlings discovered at Orokonui Ecosanctuary
Two tuatara hatchlings have recently been sighted at Orokonui Ecosanctuary by University of Otago researchers and are the first to be seen since adult tuatara were released at the ecosanctuary in 2012.
Although tuatara hatchlings have been reported in fenced ecosanctuaries on the North Island, these hatchlings may be the first to hatch as part of a viable tuatara population on Te Waipounamu (the South Island) for several hundred years.
