$1000 Package
The rowi and Haast tokoeka are the two most endangered kiwi in the world, with less than 500 of each of each bird remaining. Rowi are restricted to the Okarito Forest, north of Franz Josef Glacier, and the Haast tokoeka are restricted to a small area of forest near Haast, South Westland. In the wild, only 5% of kiwi that hatch will survive to adulthood due to predation by stoats. If we can help to get a kiwi chick over 1kg in weight and the chick’s survival rating will dramatically increase to 85%.

Donate Now & Make a Difference!
All the highly endangered wildlife at the West Coast Wildlife Centre needs your help. Kiwi, Little Blue Penguins, and Tuatara are all under threat. The Rowi and the Haast tokoeka are also the two most endangered kiwi in the world, with fewer than 650 Rowi kiwi and fewer than 400 Haast tokoeka birds remaining alive today. Rowi are restricted to the Okarito Forest and the Omoeroa, north of Franz Josef Glacier, and the Haast tokoeka are limited to a small area of forest near Haast, South Westland.
Donating will help these highly endangered species step back from the brink of extinction. Your donation will help to fund husbandry costs, veterinary bills, as well as food, equipment, incubation equipment, and health and hygiene products. We will also donate on your behalf to the Tuatara and Penguin programmes, which volunteers throughout New Zealand primarily run.
