As a kid who collected them, I can confirm that very few people ever get to see them in the wild. The Manuka first growth has mostly gone and even when repalced it doesn't mean the existance of the gecko anymore. This is primarily due to the fact that when they clear the Manuka, they let it dry out and then set fire to it ( or at least they used to) Everything inside the brush is killed period.
I found a gravid green gecko searching through cut down Manuka scrub only a week before it was to be burnt. It is a bloody tragedy really. The good news is that there are still isolated pockets of them, if you know where to find them of course.
