Help us to help the Mātātā / Fern bird
Fernbirds have declined significantly since humans began draining wetlands. They are now classed globally as at risk, declining.
With over 75% of our indigenous species at risk of extinction*, the Pest Free Waitākere Ranges Alliance is raising funds to help defend the many special species of the Waitākere Ranges.
Thank you for your support of this secretive wetland bird!
