Orokonui Ecosanctuary - bringing
home Otago's exiled wildlife and helping to save New Zealand's
threatened species for all
to appreciate. Located just 20 km north of Dunedin City, the Orokonui Ecosanctuary comprises over 300 hectares of land, where the Otago Natural History Trust is restoring a New Zealand forest ecosystem in which native flora and fauna will thrive. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Trust, its members and sponsors, the site is now completely surrounded by nearly 10 km of highly specialised exclusion fence designed to keep out all pest mammals. Find out more about the pest-exclusion fence >> The ecosanctuary is for all to experience and enjoy, and fundraising is underway for the construction of the visitor facilities, including an information centre and tracks. Funds are also needed for the costs of ecological restoration, which includes the return of rare native species such as kaka, kakariki, tuatara and saddleback. Orokonui will become a special place of excitement, wonder and learning, reaching back into New Zealand's biological past to embrace new opportunities for tourism, education, recreation and research in Dunedin.
