Forest & Bird

Forest & Bird is New Zealand’s largest independent conservation organisation that works to preserve our natural heritage and native species.
Ailsa Howard from the Kaikoura branch holds a Hutton's shearwater chick.The Kaikoura branch has been actively involved in the Hutton's shearwater recovery programme.
Originally formed to protect our native forests and birds, our role has since grown to include protection of all native species and wild places, – on land and in our oceans, lakes and rivers.
We provide a pro-conservation voice for all our threatened species and fragile places - from endangered Maui’s dolphins to high-country tussock-lands.
