Help preserve the Hauraki Coromandel for future generations

The Team from Momentum Waikato

The Hauraki Coromandel holds a special place in the hearts and minds of many.

Whether it is summer holidays spent at the family bach, exploring secluded islands by boat, or spotting rare and endangered birds while hiking through lush forest, there are many reasons for treasuring this wonderful region.

Our experiences may vary, but one common truth remains: the Coromandel is a place of unparalleled natural beauty, globally recognised as one of New Zealand’s biodiversity hotspots.

But the Coromandel we know, and love is under threat.

Established in 2017, the Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust (PFHCCT) has an ambitious goal to scale and link conservation efforts across 286,000 ha from Te Aroha to Moehau. Its Field Support Team of three rangers provide vital practical on the ground support in all aspects of community conservation work to 60+ groups around the region.

All Blacks star Wallace Sititi to make early return for Super Rugby Pacific ladder-leading Chiefs

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All Blacks star Wallace Sititi is set to make a surprise early return from injury for the Chiefs prior to the Super Rugby Pacific playoffs.

The dynamic loose forward, who stormed onto the scene in 2024, so much so that he went on to be crowned World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year, as well as All Blacks Player of the Year, picked up a knee injury on the national side’s end-of-year northern tour that had initially seemed destined to keep him out of the entire Super season.
