Karori Sanctuary Trust / October 2006
Karori Sanctuary Trust has an extraordinary 500-year vision: to restore a corner of New Zealand as closely as possible to the way it was the day before humans arrived. Our groundbreaking 225ha (550 acre) sanctuary for native wildlife, established in 1995, was a major breakthrough in the recovery of native wildlife on mainland New Zealand, reversing a decline that has lasted for at least 700 years.

Maud Island frogs hop from island to mainland
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- On 3 October, 30 rare Maud Island frogs were given a new home at Wellington's world-first Karori Wildlife Sanctuary. While this is not the first reintroduction of this rare amphibian to a mainland site (the Sanctuary achieved that conservation milestone back in February), this is the first time frogs transferred directly from Maud Island have been reintroduced to the mainland.
