What's On at Zealandia

During April 2022 the team at Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne translocated kākahi/freshwater mussels into Roto Māhanga/the upper reservoir. 

Wellington – 21 April 2022: Māori knowledge and western science have come together again to support the latest wildlife translocation to Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne.

Join our team of over 18,000+ supportes and help Wellington's wildlife continue to thrive. 

Amid the pandemic and politics, Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne continues to transform Wellington, caring for translocated species and breathing life into our forests and skies. Your donations will support us as we continue to do so.

A tour around Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne sparked the inspiration for a ngahere korowai/forest cloak around the bare hills of Porirua suburb, Cannons Creek. Lead Ranger Bicultural Engagement Terese McLeod shares an update on this project.

Your bird photos, especially that of banded birds, can be a goldmine for researchers and conservation practitioners.

Researchers from Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington looking into attitudes and views about domestic cats and cat ownership are searching for survey respondents.

Wellington - 13 October 2021: The titipounamu/rifleman pair living on Te Ahumairangi Hill in Wellington have become proud parents. 

With their chicks, currently the size of a bumblebees, the pair of New Zealand’s tiniest birds are making history. 

When the pair were first spotted in August, 3km away from Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne, it was thought to be the first sighting of their species in that area in more than 100 years.
