CONNECT TO PROTECT

Raising awareness for bittern in our communities through workshops, hui, school visits and wetland walks.

THE GREAT MATUKU MUSTER

We syncronise and coordinate nationwide counts. We help local communities to develop and coordinate monitoring programs  

HABITAT FOR HUREPO

What does it take for bittern to thrive and not just survive? Learn to assess features of an intact bittern habitat and what you can do now to help restore their wetland homes.

What motivates us...

At the current rate of population decline, we are the last generation of people who can save Bittern in their natural wetland homes. 

​

We can save Bittern if we ACT NOW .
