Kiwi could disappear from our forests if we don’t work to save them now
Aotearoa used to be home to millions of kiwi. Today, there are only 68,000. Save the Kiwi is on a mission to rebuild the kiwi population – but we need your help. Join the cause to return kiwi to where they used to live ... before it's too late.
$100 could help protect one kiwi
95% of kiwi chicks that hatch in unprotected areas will never reach adulthood. Most kiwi chicks that are killed in the wild die in the jaws of stoats – public enemy number one to kiwi chicks.
Just $100 could help provide bait, lures, and other trapping equipment so volunteer trappers can continue protecting their local environment.
Millennium Hotels and Resorts is proud to support Save the Kiwi in their efforts to protect kiwi from predators, nurture young kiwi and release kiwi back to areas where they once roamed freely. With Millennium, Copthorne, Kingsgate and M Social hotels located throughout New Zealand, Millennium understands the importance of preserving New Zealand’s unique wildlife – and we hope you’ll join the mission to save the kiwi too.
