- In serious trouble
With a tail as long as its body and a piercing screech, the koekoeā is unforgettable if you’re lucky enough to spot one in the ngahere. These speckled summer visitors breed across Aotearoa, then swap the bush for a Pacific holiday, wintering from Belau (Palau) to the Pitcairn Islands.

800 Trust
The 800 Trust is a grassroots conservation charity based in East Taranaki, dedicated to protecting and restoring native biodiversity through predator control, reforestation and innovative technology like acoustic sensors (HARK). We work in partnership with iwi, schools and community groups. Our team includes pest control rangers, educators and tech innovators passionate about giving voice to the forest’s most elusive species. We’re excited to champion the long-tailed cuckoo, a mysterious migratory taonga, and raise awareness for the forests and species that sustain it.
