A place to commit to supporting the protection of White-tailed deer on Rakiura
Oban, Southland
We need your help to fund development of methods and techniques to protect the unique white-tailed deer of Rakiura. Threatened by use of indiscriminate toxins we want to support an ongoing research and action plan to protect the herd from poor decisions by others. We want people who are invested in Rakiura doing the work and growing knowledge and skills to inform the fields of ecosystem management in New Zealands offshore islands without destroying the opportunities visitors and residents alike value so highly on Rakiura.
Knowledge acquisition ( studies & trials ), advocacy, education and informing the public on managing the whitetail on Rakiura
Word is spreading, the need is real and thank you to our donors 20 March 2026
Hi everyone, RWT is extremely grateful to all who have already contributed and we thank you for your commitment to a better future for Rakiura's Grey Ghosts and the island itself. As you can see, convincing others that killing indiscriminatingly is not a strategy people support, takes time and commitment but also discovery of alternative methods and techniques. Focus of RWT is to engage strongly and often to chart a different path that is guided by your inputs not wealthy foreigners. If you are considering a donation, please do, we need funds to support our actions and provide for others working towards shared goals. Again, thank you to all that have contributed, we will apply that contribution carefully for best effect.
