Poll: Do you think central government should help Maungatautari?
The country’s flagship mainland ecological island project has only two months to find half a million dollars before cutting back its vital conservation work or letting staff go.
The future for Maungatautari Sanctuary Mountain looks increasingly uncertain, with Jobs for Nature funding ending this month, a $150,000 overdraft, and requests for additional support from the Department of Conservation being so far unsuccessful.
“We need central government to come to the table," manager Helen Hughes says.
