The Trust has partnered with the Department of Conservation and Manawhenua ki Mohua (representing three local iwi) to create a three-hectare predator-proof fence at Wharariki Ecosanctuary at Cape Farewell. Through successful translocations of pakahā (fluttering shearwater), the Trust aims to re-establish mainland colonies. Extensive trapping and planting days further contribute to the restoration efforts.
The Trust’s regeneration work has empowered a community of conservation-minded individuals, united in restoring biodiversity, addressing climate change and improving the mauri (life force) of the area.
“Year on year we are seeing more team members bringing whānau along to our planting days. This is what money can’t buy; community and our team coming together in nature – it’s priceless,” says HealthPost Values Lead, Lucy Butler.
HealthPost suppliers are required to meet the business’s ethical and environmental standards. Information on how care is shown for the community and where ingredients are sourced is required to increase transparency and responsibility. Products are carefully selected to ensure they are free of harmful chemicals and that packaging has an end-of-life option in Aotearoa New Zealand.
