In
1987 Dunedin conservationists formed the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust with
the aim of saving the penguin by restoring coastal forest and
controlling predators. The penguin is the focus but the Trust's efforts
also benefit other native species of plant and animal. The Trust is
based in Dunedin but manages land and penguin interests in the whole of
mainland New Zealand. Their mission is to work towards an increase in
the number of yellow-eyed penguins on a self-sustaining basis within
their natural coastal ecosystem. Cycling-Inform has helped the
Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust purchase new land to help the sustainability
of the Yellow-eyed Penguin population.
