Partner with Nature. Power a Wilder Future.
The landscapes of Whakatipu, Wānaka, Hāwea and beyond are iconic — but they’re under threat. Introduced predators are devastating native species and ecosystems that have evolved over millions of years.
The time to act is now — and we’re inviting visionary businesses to join us.
