Project Update VIII Jan 2026

Momentum for nature: Our latest project update!

It’s been another significant chapter across the Sanctuary, with momentum building in every corner of the landscape. From mohua relased in the Matukituki to takahē chicks on the ground following their return to the Rees Valley, the signs of recovery are tangible and deeply encouraging.

Alongside these milestones, our predator control footprint continues to expand and our hub partners are scaling up monitoring and innovation. This work is only possible because of the collective effort behind it – community groups, iwi, landowners, volunteers, funders and supporters all playing their part in restoring biodiversity across the Southern Lakes.
