An indigenous forest remnant 'mainland island' protected by a 47 km predator-proof fence creating a haven for indigenous biodiversity.

This project has been supported by grant funding for many years and delivered multiple biodiversity conservation gains in that time. One example is the 2023 release of the world's rarest parrot - the Kakapo - into the Sanctuary.

But the grant funding is ending and the project needs another source of revenue to fund the crucial conservation management that has protected this habitat thus far.

You can help by purchasing Biodiversity Credits from this project.
