Dunedin, Otago

Blue Penguins Pukekura - The Pukekura Trust, a Charitable Trust have kaitiaki (guardianship) responsibilities to look after the whenua (land) and wildlife of the Takiharuru/Pilots Beach reserve. Within this reserve we have the responsibility to look after the Otago Peninsula's largest penguin colony (over 500 Korora or little penguins live here and a safe haven for seals, sea lions and an increasing population of other sea birds).

Our mission is to restore the coastal forest that once stood here and continue our work to ensure the wildlife contained within it this culturally and biodiverse reserve remains protected.

As a Charitable Trust our only current funding source is through our guided tours (www.bluepenguins.co.nz)

We were so impressed by the information given before the tour and during the viewing of the penguins and by the care taken of the penguins. The local tour guide who had ancestors that signed the treaty regaled us with stories of the area and of the past.
