Te Korowai o Waiheke is a charitable trust established by our community to eradicate predators and restore our island song together. 'Te Korowai o Waiheke’ is the culmination of many people’s vision to protect and restore the vulnerable native species (e.g. North Island kaka, grey-faced petrel, little blue penguin) that already call Waiheke home, in the first instance, by eradicating the key two predators remaining on the island, stoats and rats. Waiheke Island represents an unparalleled opportunity for predator eradication over a diverse landscape of communities and natural environments. It will have a far-reaching profile both within NZ and internationally, as Waiheke will become the world’s first predator free urban island. Our goal is ambitious but achievable, and will be made possible by the all-inclusive collaboration of groups and individuals on Waiheke and key project partners. The significant existing efforts of the Waiheke community to protect its native flora and fauna through many community stoat and rat control projects provides confidence that we can achieve this goal. Predator Free Waiheke is one of five projects nationally (and the only project from Auckland) selected for funding from Predator Free 2050 Limited
