Tuna - our longfin eel, a taonga species, are endangered and declining due to pollution, commercial fishing, and habitat loss due to hydro development, drainage, irrigation schemes, and river diversions.

Your donation will help to:

  • Develop an education programme to educate tamariki and the public so we can better understand how drain systems work, and why we need to restore the health of our waterways for endangered species.

  • Produce education packs - A kete with all the tools needed to "Adopt a Drain" 

  • Draw attention to our most endangered species and what needs to be done to save them and their habitats

  • Reconnect people to te taiao, our environment, showcase solutions and ways to become kaitiaki.
