September 2018.
This Conservation Week, NZSki kicks off a new five-year commitment to spend more than a quarter of a million dollars helping protect birds native to the alpine areas it works across, spearheaded by $50,000 worth of funds and donation support in partnership with the Kea Conservation Trust (KCT).
NZSki
currently operates environmental programmes at The Remarkables and Coronet Peak
ski fields both in Queenstown, and Mt Hutt in Canterbury, with this the next
step to increase its conservation efforts.
NZSki’s
commitment will focus on three key areas including working closely with the
Trust to find and protect kea – a Nationally Endangered species, educate
visitors and locals on kea conservation, and protect and enrich the natural
habitat for kea, as well as other native birds such as the falcon which is more
common at Coronet Peak.
The
company has been awarded platinum partnership status with Kea Conservation
Trust in recognition of the donation, fundraising and additional support it’s
set to provide every year until 2023.
The total
amount toward bird conservation in five years will be well in excess of $250
000.
NZSki CEO
Paul Anderson says this is an important step in their continued conservation
efforts.
