Help save our penguins

Penguin populations are in serious decline.

They are becoming more threatened every day. 

The hoiho/yellow-eyed penguin is nationally endangered.
The eastern rockhopper penguin is nationally vulnerable. 
Emperor penguins are near-threatened.
Fiordland crested penguin, the erect-crested penguin, little penguin/kororā are all at risk and declining.

With your help, we can turn things around.

Stand for the Ocean

Less than 0.5% of New Zealand’s immense ocean territory - a major food source, a massive carbon sink, and home to 80% of our biodiversity - is currently protected. We’re losing precious marine mammals and seabirds to fisheries bycatch and pollution every day. 

We’ve asked a lot of the ocean, and now it is time to give back.

Your donation today will help us:

Work to protect 30% of our vast ocean territory by 2030 and make sure that includes ecologically significant or particularly vulnerable marine habitats. 

Reduce human-driven extinction risk by fishing more sustainably – phasing out bottom-trawling, achieving zero bycatch and managing our fish stocks better. 

Address the land-based threats to marine ecosystems like plastic pollution and nutrient run-off and invest in nature-based solutions that address both climate change and biodiversity loss.

Together let's take a stand for our ocean.
