Welcome to the Paparoa Wildlife Trust
Founded in 2006, the Paparoa Wildlife Trust is a community conservation group dedicated to running effective wildlife conservation projects in the Paparoa Range near Māwhera/Greymouth on Aotearoa New Zealand’s South Island.
Our goal is to halt the decline of our region’s wonderfully iconic, but highly threatened native species.
Roroa/Great spotted kiwi
The Paparoa Wildlife Trust works extensively with roroa through Operation Nest Egg (ONE) and regular monitoring of kiwi in the southern Paparoa Range.
Predator Control
The biggest threat to New Zealand’s native wildlife is from introduced predators. We have an extensive trapping project providing predator control to more than 17,000 ha in the southern Paparoa Range.
Our Team
We have a fantastic team of trustees, contractors, and volunteers. Their hard work and dedication has been the biggest factor in the success of our programme.
