Endangered species protected by lottery funding

NZ Lotteries

Natureland Wildlife Trust in Nelson leads conservation and education efforts, thanks to Lotto NZ funding. The park, home to primates, meerkats, and native species, uses funds to expand outreach and volunteer programs.

Wildlife Conservation Educator Jazz Danis emphasizes preserving species for future generations through school visits, community outreach, and hands-on conservation.

A full-time volunteer coordinator, funded by Lotto NZ, supports volunteers from all backgrounds, including retirees and those facing challenges. Many volunteers find purpose or pursue conservation careers.

Every Lotto NZ ticket supports local initiatives like Natureland, benefiting communities and endangered species alike.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
