Help Us Restore Dunedin’s Unique Urban Wildlife

Imagine waking up to the sound of tūī singing outside your window, or seeing kākā soaring through the skies as you walk your dog.

With your help, this could be the reality across Dunedin. The City Sanctuary project is creating safe havens for our native birds and wildlife, right here in our neighborhoods, by working to eliminate predators like possums, rats, and stoats.

But we can’t do it without you.

Every dollar you give supports community-based conservation efforts that are making a real difference. Your donation helps fund trapping programs, provide resources for volunteers, and educate our community on how predator control can help create a thriving sanctuary in our city.

Why Your Gift Matters

Introduced predators are putting many of our beloved species, like kererū and bellbirds, at risk. Together, we’ve already made progress, but there’s still so much to do to secure a predator-free future.

When you give to the City Sanctuary project, you’re:

• Supporting community conservation efforts driven by passionate locals.

• Protecting native birds, reptiles, and invertebrates for future generations.

• Creating a thriving urban sanctuary that benefits everyone in Ōtepoti Dunedin.
