Summary & Actions: Matuku Bittern Conservation Workshop & Field Visit

The Bittern (matuku-hūrepo) survey conducted by PFHCCT in October revealed the widespread presence of this species in the Hauraki-Coromandel region, prompting the organization to host a Matuku Conservation Workshop and Field Visit on the Coromandel Peninsula. This event aimed to unite conservationists, researchers, and concerned individuals to strategise and take action for the recovery of bittern populations in the region.

By providing a platform for discussion, the workshop sought to strengthen collaborative efforts and develop targeted conservation measures tailored to the unique challenges faced by the matuku in Coromandel. Ultimately, the goal was to ensure the sustainable management and long-term survival of this significant species within its habitat.
