Protecting Our Taiao at the Endangered Species National Hui

It is never just a bug. Every creature in our ecosystem plays a vital role in the health of our environment. For those who feel a bit of an edge when biodiversity is dismissed, this upcoming event is for you.

The Endangered Species Foundation of New Zealand is hosting a national gathering to focus on restoration efforts that bridge the gap between people and place. This is not just a talkfest. It is an action-led initiative designed to spark real change for the species that call Aotearoa home.

For our rangatahi looking to enter the conservation space and kaiako wanting to bring local science to life, this hui provides a platform to connect with experts and community leaders. Understanding how to protect our unique biodiversity is a collective responsibility that starts with local action.
