Working towards a predator free Waiheke 🦉🌿 We visited Te Korowai o Waiheke on Waiheke island, Auckland. Their mission is to make Waiheke the world’s first predator-free urban island. Creating a haven where native wildlife can thrive preventing further loss of the unique taonga species to introduced predators and developing safe habitats for native wildlife to thrive. The counts for Native and Endemic Birds has increased by 99% from 2020 to 2025, showing the huge success of the efforts made by the project! 👉 Hear more from Jenny Holmes, Project Director te Korowai o Waiheke on this episode of 60 Sec Climate Champions | Ep. 30 📍 At every SailGP venue, we spotlight local climate heroes making a real impact.
