WWF-New Zealand Annual Report 2015 2
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR WWF believes in a future in which people live in harmony with nature.It’s an ambitious vision but one we believe can, and must, be achieved for the future of our living planet. In New Zealand and globally, we are absolutely committed to keeping our oceans healthy, protecting our precious land and marine species, and supporting the efforts of thousands of community volunteers on the front line of conservation.
Here are just a few of the highlights from the year ending 30 June 2015
Conservation Innovation Awards In late 2014 WWF ran New Zealand’s first ever Conservation Innovation Awards, aimed at unearthing new ideas for nature that will make a real difference to community conservation in New Zealand. Our winners included TrapMinder, an automated trap monitoring system; CatTracker, a research project by Victoria University’s Heidy Kikillus; and the community collective Energise Ōtaki, working to address the impacts of climate change on people and biodiversity in Otaki. All three received $25,000 grants.
Great Barrier ReefDumping of dredge spoils in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef will be banned following a WWF petition signed by more than 550,000 people. In July, WWF supporters helped stop up to 46 million cubic metres of dredge spoil from being dumped in reef waters in coming years – enough spoil to fill 4.6 million dump trucks.
The decision by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) requires Australia to deliver
“effective and sustained protection” of the reef from threats including reckless industrialization and pollution. The Great Barrier Reef stretches 2,300 kilometres along the Queensland coast and is home to more than 1,500 species of fish.
Māui dolphin app launchedEfforts to save Māui dolphins from extinction have received a high-tech boost with the launch of a new smart phone app.
WWF-New Zealand teamed up with Alphero to launch a mobile app making it easier for boaties, surfers and beach goers to report sightings of the world’s smallest and rarest marine dolphin while on the go.
“We are down to the last 55 Māui dolphins, so every sighting is valuable in building up a picture of where the animals are found and their behaviour,” says WWF-New Zealand’s Alex Smith.

Bold move to conserve Sumatran forestOne of the last places on Earth where Sumatran elephants, tigers and orangutans coexist in the wild has received long-term protection. The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry approved a conservation concession – a lease of the land – covering 40,000 hectares of forest on the island of Sumatra.
Through an ambitious project combining innovative financing approaches with traditional conservation, WWF, the Frankfurt Zoological Society and The Orangutan Project will join forces with local communities to actively manage the former logging forest, known as Bukit Tigapuluh, or Thirty Hills, to protect rather than exploit the land’s natural resources.

KIWI INGENUITY HELPS SEA LION PUPS OUT OF THE BOGThanks to WWF, Kiwi ingenuity is helping endangered sea lion pups out of tough spots on one of New Zealand’s most remote islands.
Researchers had been worried about the needless deaths of pups in holes on the Auckland Islands, with the animals proving unable to pull themselves up the steep sides after getting stuck. New Zealand sea lions are one of the world’s most endangered sea lion species.
To give them a helping hand, WWF supporters paid for 12 ramps to be installed in holes around the island, as well the repair of existing ramps on Campbell and Dundas Islands.
