Protect the Ocean

Little blue penguins are starving.

They’re finding less food in an ocean that is under increasing pressure from habitat destruction, overfishing, pollution, and climate change.

To give kororā a future, we must restore the health of the ocean they depend on.

From increasing marine protection to phasing out destructive fishing methods, WWF-New Zealand has identified 10 critical actions needed for a healthy ocean.

Your donation today will help us ensure kororā survive by working to protect our ocean.

Help save the Antipodean albatross

Antipodean albatrosses are in steep decline and have been for decades. We’ve already lost two-thirds of the population.

The biggest threat they face is from commercial fishing, and each bycatch death puts this wide-ranging and slow-breeding species at risk of extinction.

We need to do more to protect them.

Your donation will help support vital scientific research on how albatrosses behaviour near fishing vessels.

You can help us keep working with fishers and fishing companies in New Zealand and beyond to make their operations safer for the Antipodean albatross and other seabirds.
