Kārearea Falcon Trust
The Kārearea Falcon Trust was established in late 2008 by passionate individuals who realised that by acting now, we could positively change the outcome of survival for our last remaining endemic bird of prey: the kārearea / NZ Falcon. Our goals are threefold: 1- To rehabilitate sick and injured kārearea so they can be returned to the wild. 2- To care for and breed chicks for release to the wild from kārearea with permanent injuries. 3- To educate the public through Education and Advocacy programmes, highlighting why kārearea are special and how we can ensure a thriving future for them. The Trust itself is comprised of a small but dedicated group of volunteers, and an even smaller team of 2 staff! Our full time Manager and part time Administrator work to involve Marlborough clubs, groups, and individuals who would like to donate their time and expertise towards supporting our goals and creating a future where the iconic kārearea falcon is no longer a threatened species.
