Whio Competition

Whio are super special, unique birds found only in Aotearoa. They are 20x rarer than kiwi and need to be protected. What is good for whio is good for all of our native biodiversity- trapping, planting native plants, cleaning up litter, only having storm water go down the grate, following the Check Clean Dry protocol, sensible dog/cat ownership, and advocacy for our unique native creatures.

You could create a skit, poem, story, video, slideshow, or poster.  Do it by yourself or with friends. Please make sure that you have permission to share online any pictures that you use. Be creative and have fun!
