Our funders and partners

To continue our work in Kororā kaitiakitanga - Little penguin conservation, we couldn't do it without community support. Team work makes the dream work!  
Without our partners, funders, all the amazing donations from our adopt a penguin program, and people coming on Pōhatu penguins eco-tours - this work would be so much harder.

Thank you all from the bottom our our hearts, for the faith you have in us - to work with, protect and enhance our incredible native biodiversity... and especially the Kororā, Canterbury's unique colour morph - The White-flippered penguin.

One day we will see them abundant again as our Little blue neighbours all around the coasts of Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū/ Banks Peninsula.
