The Love Bittern Project is continuing its campaign ' Connect to Protect - which is just one voice among many helping to raise awareness in New Zealand for Australasian Bittern | Matuku-hūrepo and their wetland homes.


In 2024 we travelled around Aotearoa, meeting with groups who asked for help to raise awareness in their local communities. Together we ran workshops, hui, school visits and wetland walk & talks.


Here are some of the stats from the program in 2024-

  • 706 - number of people we met face to face

  • 105 - engagements, visits were made up of:

    • 20 on-farm

    • 4 school

    • 6 Marae/hapu led

    • 50 community group

    • 25 national/regional organisations


Group meeting at Mohakatino with local farmers, land owners, regional council, catchment group and Birds NZ representatives all coming together to learn and share their knowledge.
