By providing nest boxes, predator control, and plant cover around Wellington's South Coast we are creating safe places for little penguin kororā to breed.

Ōpaoa Reserve/ Marshal Place Nature Reserve is a Council Reserve, which the local Forest & Bird branch are involved with, along with the Lions and the Leos.

The Dunedin, South Otago and Southland branches are joining efforts to conduct large scale conservation in and around Tautuku, in the Catlins.

The Pāuatahanui Wildlife Reserve is a 50 hectare, fully restored wetland on the eastern edge of Pāuatahanui Inlet. DOC owns 46 hectares and Forest & Bird the remaining four.

The North-West Wildlink is creating safe, connected and healthy habitats for native wildlife across Auckland.

The rivers of Marlborough have been modified and almost all of the original vegetation has been removed with changing land uses, since European settlement. 

The native plant nursery is helping to put back what we have lost … habitat; There is no better way to reverse this trend than to assist us to continue the supply of young healthy plants to Zealandia, community groups and our own projects

Dunedin is a seabird capital with 11 species still breeding close to the city and 19 species frequenting shoreline waters. In all, nearly 40% of New Zealand's seabirds use the waters off Otago. 

Found just 30 minutes from Central Auckland, the Waitākere Ranges are home to some of our most treasured species. 

Motu Manawa (Pollen Island) is one of Auckland’s few large inner city estuarine areas. Situated in the Waterview Bay of Waitemata Harbour, it has been a wetland and shellbank habitat since the last ice age

Project Kererū is a voluntary community-based conservation project that is changing the fate of sick and injured kererū in Dunedin and surrounding areas.
