Synopsis

Discover which are our most threatened animals in New Zealand.

From the beautiful forest ringlet butterfly to the down-right ugly southern elephant seal, the cheeky kakapo to the great white sharks, every one of the unique species in our waters and on our land is threatened by predators, land changes, pollution, and other human-induced disturbances.

As well as finding out how unique these animals are, you'll read what is harming them, and most importantly, what we can do to help them.
