Help protect our kaka
$ 10.00
Known for their boisterous calls and mischievous mid-air antics, flocks of kaka were once widespread throughout New Zealand. Numbers are difficult to know accurately but it is believed there are now only between 1,000 and 5,000 across the entire country.
Introduced predators have decimated the population. Making their nests deep in the hollows of trees leaves these birds little escape from rats, stoats and possums. Female kaka are most at risk with their eggs, and the young are extremely vulnerable to attack. Kaka have a large roaming range meaning they need large forest areas for survival. Habitat removal has had a disastrous effect. Having one of the highest conservation rankings in New Zealand, kaka need our help!
Conservation Volunteers New Zealand Wild Futures Programme is taking action by mobilising volunteers, local communities, government and business partners to protect and enhance kaka recovery by building and establishing nesting boxes, controlling animal pests, large scale tree planting for food and habitat and educational programmes. Our goal is to ensure that kaka continue to survive and flourish in the wild and your donation will help to make this happen.
