Helping Bittern to Help Themselves
Only 1.9% of wetlands now remain in Hawke's Bay. In the Gisborne district that figure is even worse at 1.7%. Destroy their wetland habitats and you destroy bittern.

Matuku Bittern Conservation Workshop & Field Visit | Feb 2024
Bittern (matuku-hūrepo) have long been a species of concern and have recently garnered attention in Hauraki-Coromandel. In October, PFHCCT organised a Region-wide Matuku (Bittern) Survey, which found matuku presence widespread across the region. While matuku are rare, the survey results suggested that Coromandel is an important region and, perhaps, somewhere to focus recovery measures.
