Stars of the water world.

Auckland

Giant kōkopu are found only in New Zealand. They lack scales and have a thick leathery skin covered with mucus. They are threatened and currently classified as 'declining'. Help the volunteer groups of the Waitākere Ranges restore their habitat.

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 special fish!
