We are an independent charitable trust with the shared vision of a predator free Aotearoa.
About us
The Predator Free New Zealand Trust is an independent trust established in 2013. New Zealand has the highest rate of threatened species in the world. Around 81% of our birds, 88% of our reptiles and 72% of our freshwater fish are endangered. Most of our native species are not found anywhere else in the world. We are committed to dramatically reducing NZ’s predator populations, including rats, stoats, possums, feral cats, weasels and ferrets. We want to protect our native species and see their populations increase in our lifetime. It’s one of the most ambitious conservation projects undertaken in NZ – ambitious, but achievable.

What does a warming climate do to our beech forests? How does that change rat populations? Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research explored these questions, and this comic explains their answers.

Right now, the Department of Conservation is asking for feedback on the Predator Free 2050 strategy. The biggest question: should feral cats be added alongside rats, ferrets, stoats, weasels and possums? https://lnkd.in/df5dyHFU

The views on this trapline: 10/10. An epic crew of volunteers keeps 1,000 traps running across 5,500 hectares of the West Matukituki Valley in Mt Aspiring National Park. That’s a lot of steps on the Garmin — and even more good karma. The payoff isn't just jaw-dropping views, but more kakaruai (South Island robins) hopping around your boots, kākāriki flashing through the treetops, and kārearea pulling off aerial stunts. Not all heroes wear capes — some wear gaiters and carry dried rabbit lures. Read our article about the Matukituki Charitable Trust👇 https://lnkd.in/gFuqpRhe Photo credit: Geoff Marks
