Conservation is more than cute birds
It is also a lot of hard work, and it never stops.
Breeding season is just around the corner, and with weeks in lockdown without visitors and still no international tourists, Zealandia needs your help.
Your donation helps to keep Zealandia safe, giving rare and endangered native birds a place where they can live freely, breed and have another chance of survival.
$15 could provide supplementary food for kākā for a day
$25 could feed the takahē for a month
$350 could purchase the bird banding equipment needed for the season
