Have you seen a Māui dolphin?

World Wide Fund for Nature

Māui dolphins are the world’s rarest marine dolphin, with only 63 surviving today. They’re critically endangered, but this year we have a chance to save them.

They’re critically endangered, but this year we have a chance to save them. Less than 30% of their habitat is protected from deadly set nets. Now the government is reviewing their plan for protecting these precious dolphins.

That’s where you come in. The more data we have about where Māui dolphins swim, the more chance we have of protecting them. If you see a dolphin with a rounded fin, send it in!

Just call 0800 FOR MAUIS or head over to our website.
