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

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Sleeping Beauty - The Pantomime
A family comedy where a stitch in time saves nine thousand years.
Aurora is the people’s princess of Wellingtonia – with a curse.
On her first birthday an evil spell is cast: One day she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel, sending her into an unbreakable deep sleep. With the help of fairy god-daddies that watch over her and a surprise visit from two interdimensional travellers, Aurora must venture through the time-space continuum to stay conscious and reclaim her throne from evil forces. An original pantomime that takes a beloved fairytale and adds equal amounts of song, dance, and sci-fi to bubble up a perfect potion the whole whānau will love. A high-energy romp of comedy and capers – Sleeping Beauty is anything but a snoozefest. Celebrating 20 years of Circa Theatre pantomimes.
