Tasman Bay Blue Penguin Trust
Please help us secure the future of little blue penguins in Tasman Bay, New Zealand, through advocacy, education, rescue & rehabilitation.
Kaiteriteri, Tasman
Please help us protect our local little blues/korora by ensuring they have a safe habitat. As the smallest penguin in the world, they're very special, but they are struggling.
Their official DOC conservation status is: at risk/declining.
Our activities include:
* penguin advocacy with local government and conservation agencies for improved wildlife legislation and planning strategies
* building and deploying nest boxes to create safer breeding sites
* raising community awareness through media articles, signage, website, social media etc.
* emergency response is a very important aspect of our work, providing support to injured and sick penguins in collaboration with DOC-approved vet
* predator control and trapping to create a safer environment
* delivering educational opportunities to groups and students
* collaboration with the scientific community to help improve the overall knowledge base of little blues and the eco system they live in
* organising community beach clean up to create a safer environment for local wildlife
The Tasman Bay Blue Penguin Trust holds a DOC Wildlife Act Authority for the Tasman Bay coastal area.
