Support the Kakī. Save them from extinction! By Billie, age 11.

Dunedin, Otago

The kakī (native to NZ) are the world's most endangered wading bird. At the lowest point of their population in 1981, the adult numbers were 23 left. Their habitat is the braided rivers of the Mackenzie Basin. I am raising money to support DOC's efforts to increase their numbers because I think these birds are amazing. This is part of my Y7 science badge project at DNI. Please consider making a small donation to keep their population alive. This is important. Thank you.

Billie Hinch's involvement (page creator)

I have no affiliation with DOC. I just want to help the Kakī.

Use of funds

All this money will go to DOC's Kakī Recovery Programme.

Latest update

My kakī fundraiser has now closed, and was a massive success. 😊  1 May 2022

When I started this page, I hoped to reach $150. Look where we are now: $515. Thank you to everyone who had ANYTHING to do with my page, sharing and/or donating. I also really hope this has helped to spread the word that the kakī are in desperate need of help. I am excited that $515 will go to helping wherever it is needed the most.

Aroha nui,

Billie ❤️
