Enabling native species to thrive

Seven hundred years after the arrival of humans to the region, more than 40% of New Zealand’s native bird species are at high risk of extinction. Limiting the presence of non-native mammals like rats, stoats and possums is crucial for protecting threatened species.
﻿
In Rotorua, New Zealand, safeguarding native birds and other wildlife in the Okere Falls reserve is a community effort. Predator Free Okere Falls, established by a group of passionate locals, is led by the Te Mauri o Okere Awa Charitable Trust and aims to eliminate pests from backyards and reserves by 2025. Tourism businesses like Rotorua Rafting, Rotorua Ziplines and Kaituna Cascades assist with pest controls needed to meet that goal.
