"Join us in building a new, modern exhibit at Natureland Wildlife Trust to give our capuchin monkeys a spacious and enriching home

Nelson

At Natureland Wildlife Trust, we are dedicated to continually providing the best possible home for all of our animals

We are launching a campaign to build a modern, open exhibit for our Capuchin Monkeys. This new space will allow these intelligent and energetic animals to express their natural behaviors, enhancing their well-being and delighting our visitors with more engaging and educational experiences.

With the support of several generous businesses, we have already secured a significant portion of the build. However, we still need an additional $25,000 to cover the costs of materials. Your contribution will directly impact the lives of our capuchins, providing them with a spacious, enriching environment where they can thrive.

By donating to our crowdfunding campaign, you become a part of a community that values wildlife conservation and education. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal and ensures a brighter future for our capuchins. Help us transform their home into a sanctuary. Donate today and make a lasting difference in the lives of these incredible animals. Thank you for your support!

About us

Natureland is a wildlife park in the top of the south island focused on community and conservation. We have a range of domestic, native and exotic animals and contribute to three successful breed for release programs.

Use of funds

All funds raised will be dedicated to building a new den for the Capuchins. This heated space will provide a comfortable overnight shelter and a safe haven during bad weather. It will enable keepers to do daily health checks, ensuring our Capuchin's well-being.

We Did It – Thank You from the Bottom of Our Hearts ❤️  29 December 2025

We are absolutely thrilled to share that we reached our $20,000 goal on Christmas Eve!

Two incredibly generous donations came through at just the right moment and pushed us over the line. We are still a little lost for words.

Because of you, every single person who donated, shared, encouraged, and believed in this project, the Capuchin Den is now fully funded. This means we can complete all the final components, including the internal fit-out, specialist enclosure materials, and plumbing, and move ahead without delay.

Your support has made a real, tangible difference. This project represents so much more than a building — it’s about creating a safe, enriching, long-term home for our capuchins, and you have all played a part in making that possible.

From all of us at Natureland, thank you for your generosity, your kindness, and for standing behind this project every step of the way. We can’t wait to share the next stage with you as the space comes to life.

With heartfelt thanks,

The Natureland Team 💚

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
