New Fund for Nature backs Hauraki-Coromandel Conservation

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Preserving and enhancing biodiversity and conservation lands across Hauraki and Coromandel is a long-term project requiring vision, perseverance, and resilient funding.

The Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust supports 100+ conservation and backyard-trapping groups. Current projects include kiwi protection, trap-building, bringing national experts in for training workshops, and a field support team helping the local groups with track cutting and, currently, storm recovery.

The newly established Fund for Nature – Hauraki Coromandel has been established by the Trust with Momentum Waikato to provide sustainable and secure funding for this critical work into the future.

“Our partnership with Momentum Waikato is about providing a way for people everywhere to leave a legacy that supports the conservation work of Hauraki and Coromandel communities,” says the Trust's CE Jude Hooson.

“There are a lot of people who have been committed to conservation here for decades, and there are some leading conservation experts living locally, and they’re all concerned about who is going to continue to do the mahi.

“So, we’re not thinking small, we want to build a significant Fund for Nature,” says Jude.

Support my Journey

Zoeb from Pukekohe

givealittle.co.nz...

Hi, I’m Zoeb Ali (Zee), a passionate writer who dreams of using words to inspire, educate, and give back. I’ve created three blogs, each representing a vital part of my heart and purpose:

Pen by Zee: My space for sharing mindful writing, poetry, novels, and stories that inspire and connect.

Charity with Zee: A platform for highlighting fundraising campaigns I lead for causes like Auckland City Mission, Kiwi Harvest, and New Zealand Mental Health.

NZ History with Zee: Dedicated to preserving and sharing New Zealand’s rich history to educate and engage readers.

Currently, I run these blogs on free platforms, but they limit my ability to deliver the high-quality, professional experience my readers and the causes I support deserve. I’m starting this fundraiser to raise funds for paid versions of these websites.

Your donation will directly support:

Professional website designs to enhance content delivery.

Expanding reach to engage more readers and supporters.

Amplifying my charity efforts for greater community impact.

With your help, I can unlock the full potential of these blogs to inspire, educate, and make a difference. Every contribution matters, and together, we can bring this vision to life.

Thank you for supporting my journey. 💙

Warm regards,

Zee
