Sanctuary Mountain® Maungatautari is a charitable trust and world class conservation project which aims to continue the species re-introductions and breeding programmes to create biodiversity in a sound ecological environment. We work in partnership with local iwi, landowners, the community and both government and non-government entities. This ensures the longevity of the fence and the well-being of all that exists on this precious maunga. With most of the mountain mature and intact conifer/broadleaf forest, the functioning ecosystem on Sanctuary Mountain® Maungatautari is as close to the pre-human New Zealand environment as it’s possible to find. It’s also the example of what the future holds if Predator Free 2050 is successful in New Zealand. The fence has been built and is maintained, fifteen endemic species have been reintroduced to date and the pests are taken care of - what's left to do? Maintaining a largely pest-free mountain is a huge and ongoing task and we need to raise more than $1.6 million annually through sponsorships and donations to maintain the security of our endangered species and their environment. Some of the operations you may be interested in sponsoring include: pest control, fence & track maintenance, equipment, biodiversity management, conservation education and administration.
