Thank you for looking into our donation page! 

Donations help cover a range of our conservation needs from:

  • Nesting box materials for penguins and other native birds
  • Penguin Rehabilitation, Penguin food, Transport costs to the vet,
  • Rehabilitation facility maintenance.
  • Predator control, Materials and maintenance, Trappers wage.
  • Reforestation of Pohatu’s covenants, Protected zones, Planting trees and track building.
  • Research projects.
  • Staff training, e.g. Trapping workshops, Penguin symposium, Rehabilitation workshops.
  • Education for school groups.

Please be aware if you are wanting to gift for birthdays or Christmas we do need time to make the name for the nesting boxes and snail mail can take time, best to give us at least 3 weeks to send this to you if within New Zealand. For overseas, in light of Covid and the delay that packages can experienced, we recommend you to purchase your penguin adoption at least a month in advance.
