Making Waiheke Island the world’s first predator-free urban island

Imagine our island being a haven for unique and ancient species of birds, lizards, insects and plants, a place of exceptional beauty for both current and future generations!

Te Korowai o Waiheke is a charitable trust established by the local community to eradicate predators from our beautiful island. The first stage of the Te Korowai o Waiheke project is a stoat eradication, island-wide. The second stage is a series of rat pilot operational trials to understand how to remove rats from the whole of Waiheke.
