Save our Sea Lions

New Zealand sea lions / rāpoka are in rapid decline.

Your donation today could help save them.

Classified as Nationally Vulnerable, their main breeding colonies, where almost all pups are born, are in steep decline. And like so many of our marine species, they are facing growing threats from ocean pollution, fisheries bycatch, overfishing and the impacts of climate change.

By making a donation, you can help us push for the establishment of more Marine Protected Areas and play a critical role in creating the safe havens that species like the New Zealand sea lion so urgently need.

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.

Adopt an animal

By adopting an animal through a monthly donation to WWF, you will be safeguarding the home, food, and safety of threatened and endangered species locally and globally.

Your adoption is a symbol of your compassion for all species on our planet.

A WWF animal adoption also makes the perfect gift for any animal lover, and is a great way to inspire friends, family and loved ones to care for nature as much as you do!
