Mātātā / Fern bird
Local populations are lost when wetlands are drained and converted to pasture, and compounded by predation by animal pests.
Auckland
Fernbirds have declined significantly since humans began draining wetlands. They are now classed globally as at risk, declining.
With over 75% of our indigenous species at risk of extinction*, the Pest Free Waitākere Ranges Alliance is raising funds to help defend the many special species of the Waitākere Ranges.
Thank you for your support of this secretive wetland bird!
