CBAC Whio
Whio is a true taonga (treasured) species of New Zealand. They are our only endemic mountain duck and one of three true riverine duck species worldwide, making them rarer than some species of Kiwi. They are nationally vulnerable with less than 3,000 left.
Eastern Whio Link
Eastern Whio Link is a hunter and fishermen-led conservation project situated in the upper reaches of the Waioeka Gorge (between Opotiki and Gisborne) with the goal to protect Whio (blue duck).
Eastern Whio Link was established to protect the remaining population of this nationally vulnerable species. By aiding in their recovery, we are helping enable a breeding population to establish in the area and disperse into surrounding watersheds.
CBAC Whio A
Establishment.
-
x1 Whio A ($200) = 100m of newly protected Whio habitat (first year): $200
-
x10 Whio A ($2,000) = 1km of new habitat protection established.
-
x30 Whio A ($6,000) = 3km (a Whio pair home range) of new habitat protection established.
-
1 WhioB/ $50 = continued protection of 100m of Whio habitat (for one year): $50
-
10 WhioB/ $500 = 1km of habitat maintenance for 1year
-
30 WhioB/ $1,500 = 3km (a Whio pair home range) of habitat maintenance for 1year
