Aotearoa New Zealand is aiming to be predator-free in 2050 to ensure our islands' unique species of birds, frogs, lizards and plants can thrive.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

If you can provide the right home for them, you can adopt for just a donation/koha when you start the process by this Sunday, September 21st.
These wonderful animals have been waiting patiently for their special someone – could that be you? ? You might need to travel a bit further than your nearest SPCA Center, but we promise they're worth the journey.
Even though we’re waiving our standard adoption fees for our long-stays, every animal is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms – all ready to head home with you. Meet all of our long-stays on our site now!
Select your address and I can prepare a personalised property report for you.

That’s when I discovered dance fitness. Moving to music not only supports my coordination and recovery, but also lifts my mood and gives me back a sense of freedom. Dance fitness is for everyone—whether you’re recovering, keeping fit, or just wanting to have fun. In fact, FitSteps is the UK’s number one dance-based fitness programme, blending ballroom and Latin moves into a workout that’s enjoyable, effective, and empowering. I attached a couple of flyers below so you can find a class if you are interested.
