Endangered Species National Hui 2026
Taonga Tuku Iho: Restoring Māuri Through Collective Action
2-3 September 206
Atrium, Wintec | Kirikiriroa Hamilton
This two-day national hui will bring together iwi, community leaders, scientists, creatives, advocates and organisations working to protect taonga species and restore the health of te taiao - our environment.
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.
