"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.

Exciting Capuchin Update – We’re Almost There!  8 September 2025

We’ve extended the expiry date of our Givealittle campaign with some fantastic news – we’ve made significant progress in securing a building for our capuchins! This has been done at the best possible price, thanks to careful planning and support from our amazing community.

Now, we just need a little more help to cover the final $6,000 for all the essential extras – including delivery of the building, decking out the inside to make it comfortable and enriching for our capuchins, and laying a concrete pad to keep their new home secure and stable.

We are so close and incredibly excited – with your support, we believe we can have the capuchins in their new space by December!

Every contribution, big or small, brings us one step closer to giving our capuchins the home they deserve. Thank you for helping make this dream a reality.
