We work with all stakeholders from project conception to completion
Our Mission
Fundamental to our ethos is that New Zealand, after ~65 million years of isolation, became a repository of some of the highest levels of biodiversity on earth. Around 80% of our native flora and fauna doesn’t exist anywhere else on the planet.
Unfortunately, since human habitation a very large number of our native species no longer exist here in New Zealand either. Moreover, our land practices impact the quality of our streams, rivers, estuaries and oceans.
While some things we just are unable to undo, there is a real opportunity for us, as guardians of the land, to take a stance that is more deferential to the native ecosystems that were in place in New Zealand long before we were.
Our mission is to make things better today than they were yesterday, and better tomorrow than they are today.
It’s that simple.
