Threatened Species Ambassador

Introduction

Nicola Toki is DOC's Threatened Species Ambassador. Her role is to raise awareness and inspire action for our threatened native plants and animals.

Highlights

Telling the stories of New Zealand's native wildlife is Nicola's passion. She loves getting people as excited about giant wētā as they are about kiwi or kākāpō.

Get to know Nicola and find out why so many of our species are threatened with extinction. Learn about the not-so-cuddly critters that need our attention with Critter of the Week.

Pestering you for the leftovers from the fish n’ chip packet, or making raucous noise and squabbling with each other to get the best place to stand on a rail – anyone who lives by the coast will be familiar with the red-billed gull. 

But, as Nic tells us, the population of this species is declining.
