Awhi Awa | Embrace a Stream

Sadly, 45% of our rivers are now unsafe for swimming and 76% of our native freshwater fish are either threatened with or at risk of extinction.

By helping restore a stream near you, you can help improve the health of our waterways for our freshwater species, including tuna (longfin eel) and the kōaro (native fish).

Stop Sandmining in Tara Iti Habitat

Help protect the precious coastlines by signing the petition to stop destructive sand mining in Te Akau Bream Bay from Waipū Cove to Langs and Ruakākā. 

 

Sand mining destroys sea floors, erodes coastal protections, and threatens the habitats of critically endangered species like the tara iti - our most endangered bird with less than 50 left in the world.
