New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

This piano has been in my family since it was purchased new in the 1930s. It's in very good condition and has a lovely, mellow tone though it does need tuning. It's not too big: 1.35m long, 1.15m high and .55m deep. I would love to see it go to someone who will play it.
