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

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.

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

In October 2023 the Minister of Conservation announced six new marine reserves will be established along the southeast coast of the South Island from Tīmaru to Waipapa Point in Southland.

We are working to eradicate introduced predators on Rakiura/Stewart Island so native species and people can thrive together.

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.
