The Wild-Life - Paihikara & Hikoi (Bike & Hike) the Maunga.

Bridging Tech and the Wild Heart of Taranaki

Wildlife.ai connects cutting-edge tech with the untamed beauty of Taranaki to protect what’s often overlooked — the small, strange, and vital creatures that keep our ecosystem alive.

Tiny Titans of Taranaki

Forget the big-name birds — we focus on the unsung heroes:

🟠 Powelliphanta Snails – Giant, meat-eating, 20-year-old snails. Ancient, endangered, and essential.

🟠 Wētā – Over 100 species found only in Aotearoa. One lives only on the maunga. All face extinction threats from predators.

These species aren’t just cool — they’re critical. Their survival signals a healthy ecosystem. Protecting them means protecting everything.

The Problem: Conservation is Too Slow

Manual data collection eats up precious time. While teams sort photos, pests keep attacking. We need to move faster.

The Solution: AI Superpowers for Nature

Wildlife.ai uses smart tech to fast-track conservation:

⚡ Wildlife Watchers – AI-powered cameras built in Taranaki, working 24/7 in remote areas. They filter useless images and ID species in minutes.

⚡ Smarter Decisions – Our AI turns raw data into insights that guide planting, pest control, and habitat protection — fast.

Your Role: Fuel the Mission

This isn’t just a hike up the maunga. It’s a race to save our wild taonga.

Every step climbed, every dollar donated powers real-world impact: more cameras, more data, faster action.

Join us. Let’s protect what makes Taranaki truly wild.
