Protect our Red-Billed Gulls

Imagine a summer without seagulls

If we don’t act – we won’t have to imagine it.

While still regularly seen along our coastlines, the oft-derided tarāpunga or red-billed gull is in serious decline.  

They are now more threatened than the North Island brown kiwi.

One of our most iconic seabirds, the population of red-billed gulls is projected to drop 50 to 70 percent over the next 30 years.

They need our help. Please make a donation to help save our gulls.

Summer would just not be the same without them.

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.
