Save the Kiwi raises awareness about the plight of the kiwi and empowers people to do their bit so we can ensure this taonga can survive and thrive – together. Teaching the future generations about our beautiful taiao and how they can treat Papatūānuku with care and respect is one part of our kaupapa. That’s why Kiwi Forever is a free resource (and will always be) – so we can all work together to save the kiwi, starting with our rangatahi.
