We are raising funds for the High Court Case challenging the decision to fell such an iconic Kauri. Awhiawhi is healthy and well.

We are raising funds to keep Awhiawhi standing, the mature Kauri that both Michael Tavares and Johno Smith lived in to stop her becoming a log on the ground. Despite an attempt to ringbark Awhiawhi is healthy and well.

We believe that challenging the Resource Consents that permitted the felling of mature healthy Kauri and Rimu will set a national precedent for preserving our native forests.

We have less than 1% of our magnificent Kauri “Taonga” left. Of those that remain standing many are affected by Kauri Dieback Disease and are sick and dying. Not since the clear felling of Kauri forests in the 1800’s has the long term survival of Kauri as a species been so precarious due to Kauri Dieback, yet, despite this, consent was given to fell healthy Kauri.

Any amount big or small will help.
