A korowai gecko found on the west coast of the Auckland Region, New Zealand

... that off-roading at Muriwai Beach in New Zealand may be damaging the habitat of the newly described korowai gecko? Source: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/2018924043/new-species-of-gecko-on-auckland-s-west-coast-named

- Comment: The iNaturalist image is technically not research-grade, but is definitely correct, as the photo was taken by the herpetologist who described the species (i.e. iNaturalist hasn't put the species in their database yet).

starting review--Kev min § 18:07, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article new enough and long enough. Article is fully cited, sources are neutral, and information is presented neutrally. The hook is cited and verified. No policy issues are seen in the hook or the article, no close paraphrasing or copyvios identified. Image is appropriately licensed for main page and thumbnail is identifiable. Looks good to go.--Kev min § 18:39, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
