Journey through the different Aotearoa New Zealand habitats represented in Te Wao Nui here at Auckland Zoo. Observe and discuss the adaptations (physical or behavioural) of our unique Aotearoa New Zealand species and their role in the ecosystem.

Explore the impact of environmental change (including introduced pests) and how Wild Work is helping our precious taonga to survive in the wild. Be inspired and encouraged to take conservation action in your own backyard!

What does living sustainably look like and why is it necessary? Many of today’s environmental problems stem from our increasing loss of connection to our planet Earth. Hands-on activities help translate love and understanding into respectful action. Discover that even small actions can contribute to big change for good. 

Being mindful of the different types of waste we produce and understanding the most sustainable ways to dispose of it is essential in advocating for change. Finally, be encouraged to take informed action – applying what you have learned to make ethical decisions and act on them in your own backyard whether at home or at school.
