The Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust is doing vital work to help protect one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most endangered native species, the Hoiho.

Through initiatives including coastal reforestation, protecting nesting habitats, advocacy and education, the Trust works to safeguard the Hoiho for future generations. Recognised as a Key Programme Partner by both the Department of Conservation and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the Trust plays an important role in advancing conservation outcomes for this rare and unique species

We were pleased to provide pro bono legal support to the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust. Like many not-for-profit organisations, the Trust's time and resources are best directed toward delivering its conservation programmes and protecting wildlife. By assisting with legal matters, we can help remove some of the administrative and organisational challenges that come with running a charitable organisation, freeing up more time and resources for the work that matters most.

Supporting organisations that make a meaningful difference in our communities is an important part of who we are, and we are proud to play a small part in helping the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust continue its invaluable conservation efforts.
