We play a big part in Aotearoa NZ’s conservation efforts through our captive breeding program for whio. One of the overall aims of Staglands is advocacy - by ensuring that all New Zealanders have access to their native wildlife, in as natural surroundings as possible. By creating an interactive, memorable experience, our wildlife park hopes to inspire visitors to become more involved with the environment. The Reserve is home to several important native species and liaison with the Department of Conservation ensures their long term survival.
