Wairau Nature Network

The Wairau lowlands are critically depleted of natural vegetation, with as little as 4–11% of native cover remaining. This is far below the critical threshold of 15% required for the survival of most species.
Ecological corridors—riparian margins, hedgerows, and unused corners of land—act as vital lifelines for biodiversity. They connect fragmented habitats, enabling wildlife to thrive and adapt to climate challenges.
By joining us, you’ll be part of the solution to bridge this gap, creating ecological corridors that benefit both wildlife and people.
