Why the trust was formed:

  • The purposes of the Trust are to provide benefits to the public of New Zealand; to aid preservation and rehabilitation of native birds and wildlife, especially the Mōhua in the South Island of New Zealand;
  • to promote education about native birds in New Zealand and their preservation;
  • to provide funding for the discovery, collection, relocation and rehabilitation of native birds including the Mohua.

The aim is to get Mōhua and other native bird populations back to the numbers once found in New Zealand's native forest
