Endangered species protected by lottery funding
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.

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.
