Animals/Wildlife
To remove forever, introduced mammalian pests and predators from Maungatautari, and restore to the forest a healthy diversity of indigenous plants and animals not seen in our lifetime.
More information
Maungatautariis an internationally significant restoration project, with 3,400 hectare forested, extinct volcano stands majestically on the landscape in the Waikato basin. We build and maintain a 47km totally pest-proof fence around the forest on Maungatautari, and eliminate ALL warm-blooded (mammalian) animal pests within the fence. We re-introduce threatened species that have been lost from Maungatautari, including kiwi, kokako, giant weta, and tuatara, while building visitor access gates and tracks and create a wildlife haven where visitors are welcome. We encourage visitors to come and enjoy the vibrant wildlife, and to experience a pest-free New Zealand forest.
