We raise funds for projects that halt the decline, protect and fully restore Aotearoa New Zealand’s wild places, strategically and at scale – establishing wilderness full of diverse and thriving eco-systems for generations to come. An independent charitable trust, our goal is to raise $30m over the next five years, bringing together conservation donors and investors who understand the urgency and are committed to achieving this turn around.
Critical Projects
Conservation action that turns the tide on our species and habitat decline. Critical, large-scale, ‘big picture’ projects, bringing together the people undertaking ground-breaking work in the field and magnifying the impact made.

Critical Projects
We need big changes for nature and quickly. Achieving change at scale is not just about going big; it is about ensuring the foundations are solid, the catalysts for change are identified, and the vision is clear and achievable – whilst keeping core guardianship and conservation values at its heart.
- We develop and support landscape scale projects that bring together smaller local projects, creating synergies and amplifying impact.
- We focus on Aotearoa New Zealand’s most vulnerable species and habitats.
- We work with experienced and committed people and groups on the ground.
- We create alignment between individuals, businesses, for-purpose organisations, community groups, government and conservation experts.
