Help the Whangārei Bird Recovery Centre from permanent closure.

Whangarei, Northland

Conservation icon Robert Webb has expressed his fears of the closure of The Whangārei Bird Recovery Centre if he cannot raise $200,000 or gain some much needed sponsorship within four weeks.

The centre’s diverse operations include:

Rescuing, caring for and rehabilitating over a 1200 birds every year, Running education programmes for over 6000 school children each year, Fostering environmental consciousness in Northland’s communities, Helping save the kiwi by being part of the kiwi recovery programme in conjunction with the Department of Conservation, Ongoing care of birds which cannot be released due to permanent injuries, Providing advice on treatment of wild birds to other agencies such as veterinarians and zoos, Incubating kiwi recovery programme eggs and rearing chicks until ready to be released into the wild.

Over the years, Robert has received top honours including the Queen’s Service Medal and New Zealand Order of Merit for his outstanding conservation work. He says which will mean very little if the centre is put to a closure.

As you can probably tell by now, I am trying so hard to get this out there and to be able to help save such a well needed fertility and person/people who run it with the hopes of raising enough money and gain some much needed sponsorship from the people of New Zealand to keep this all up and running for many more years to come.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
