Re-igniting Survival Through Revival

Join our efforts to support vital conservation initiatives to save species and empower action for lasting change.

Māui and Hector's Dolphins

The world’s smallest dolphin the Māui is teetering on the brink of extinction and Hector's Dolphin numbers are dropping fast.
 

Bottom trawling devastates the seafloor, destroying coral forests, releasing carbon, and wiping out the food sources that dolphins rely on to survive. Sign our petition to end bottom trawling across all Māui and Hector’s dolphin habitats and vulnerable habitats where coral thrives!

Awhi Awa | Embrace a Stream

Sadly, 45% of our rivers are now unsafe for swimming and 76% of our native freshwater fish are either threatened with or at risk of extinction.

By helping restore a stream near you, you can help improve the health of our waterways for our freshwater species, including tuna (longfin eel) and the kōaro (native fish).

Stop Sandmining in Tara Iti Habitat

Help protect the precious coastlines by signing the petition to stop destructive sand mining in Te Akau Bream Bay from Waipū Cove to Langs and Ruakākā. 

 

Sand mining destroys sea floors, erodes coastal protections, and threatens the habitats of critically endangered species like the tara iti - our most endangered bird with less than 50 left in the world.

We aim to protect the rarest of Aotearoa’s species by mobilising movements and supporting conservation projects to ensure healthy, biodiverse ecosystems.

Find out more about the work we undertake to advocate for our most endangered species and how we can all take action to protect the rarest of our rare.

Over 7500 of our indigenous species are in danger of being lost forever. Help protect Aotearoa's most vulnerable taonga by joining us and donating today.
