Helping Northland's Wild Kiwi Flourish into the Future
The vision of Kiwi Coast is one of thriving native forests and wildlife, nurtured and cared for by Northlanders. With wild kiwi leading the way, together we are creating New Zealand’s first modern day kiwi corridor.
Kiwi Coast Area
Stretching across 291km of Northland, approximately, 280,000ha is now collectively under active conservation stewardship and sustained pest control.
Groups & Projects
Over 260 entities are now linked in to the Kiwi Coast. This includes community-led projects, hapū and iwi, forest management companies, government agencies, organisations, farmers and schools.
Animal Pest Control
A key focus of Kiwi Coast is supporting the removal of introduced animal pests that defoliate forests, compete with native wildlife for resources, destroy nests, wetlands and forest floors and predate on vulnerable native species to the point of extinction.
Collaborative Partnerships
Kiwi Coast works in collaborative partnerships with the shared vision of revitalizing Northland's people and places. Acknowledging Te Tiriti o Waitangi, respecting mātauranga Māori and working alongside mana whenua to support aspirations for regenerating te taiao are all central to Kiwi Coast.
