Arawai Kākāriki wetland restoration programme

Arawai Kākāriki is leading the ecological restoration of five significant wetland sites in New Zealand.

New River Estuary, Invercargill – spartina control

The eradication of spartina in the mud flats that make up the Invercargill estuary was thought to be an impossible task. Through dogged determination and hard work we are close to achieving this goal.

Eradicating mice from Antipodes Island

DOC travelled to the Antipodes Island in winter 2016 and eradicated mice with support from our partners the Morgan Foundation, WWF-New Zealand, Island Conservation and the New Zealand public.

Hump Ridge Great Walk Project

This project to upgrade Tuatapere’s Hump Ridge Track to Great Walk standard is well underway.

Living Water partnership

Our 10-year partnership with Fonterra supports work to enable farming and freshwater to thrive together.

Predator Free Rakiura

The project's vision is to grow Rakiura/Stewart Island as a taonga by working collaboratively towards a Predator Free Rakiura that allows ecosystems and community to thrive and benefit from each other.

Restoring Auckland Island - the Maukahuka project

We plan to remove three introduced pests from Auckland Island so its native wildlife can thrive. Donate and help to protect unique species found nowhere else in the world.

Sea lion monitoring on the Auckland Islands
