Weka are classed as a 

vulnerable species. The Department of Conservation's weka recovery

plan, approved in 1999, aims to improve the conservation status of threatened weka, clarify
the status of data deficient weka, maintain the non-threatened status of other weka, and
eventually restore all weka to their traditional ranges as a significant component of the
ecosystems.[19]
Weka are problematic in conservation; some subspecies are threatened, but have been a
problem to other threatened wildlife on offshore islands, especially when introduced to an
island that they would not naturally inhabit.[20] Weka are unable to withstand the current
pressures faced in both the North Island and South Island. However, they can be very
productive in good conditions and high food availability. Year-round breeding has been
recorded at several sites with up to 14 young produced in a year. Weka populations can
persist in highly modified habitats, but they have disappeared from huge areas of their former
range, suggesting that they can adapt to a wide range of conditions but are particularly
vulnerable to threats.[19]
