WWF – New Zealand
WWF-New Zealand is part of the WWF International Network, the world’s largest and most experienced independent conservation organisation. It has close to five million supporters and a global network active in more than 100 countries. WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. This is achieved by working on the ground with local communities, and in partnership with government and industry, using the best possible science to advocate change and effective conservation policy.
Wellington City Council
Wellington City Council’s vision for biodiversity is to be a city that protects and restores biodiversity and proudly showcases its natural areas. It aims to be a city that is renowned for its kaitiakitanga, its environmental guardianship.
Wellington City Council looks after the city’s reserves and town belts, as well as beaches and coastline. Their work includes pest weed and animal control, revegetation planting, monitoring and track maintenance. Much of this is supported by the commitments of a large number of volunteers and groups. They fund world class nature based facilites such as Otari-Wilton’s Bush, the Wellington Botanic Garden, Zealandia and the Zoo.
They also provide water supply, and work to reduce the impact of stormwater and sewage disposal on the natural environment; provide recycling and waste disposal services; offer grants for environmental initiatives; and promote energy efficiency and sustainability.
