Actually Make a Difference

Kākāpō don't use email. But you do. We'll send you real info on how to support their conservation — because these birds genuinely need your help.

The Real Story 🌿

The kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) is critically endangered. All 251 living individuals are named, tracked, and individually cared for by the Kākāpō Recovery Programme — a collaboration between New Zealand's Department of Conservation and the Ngāi Tahu iwi.

They live on predator-free islands. They breed slowly — sometimes only once every 2–4 years when rimu trees fruit. They can live to 90+. They are extraordinary, absurd, deeply loveable birds, and they need your support.
