The Kaharoa Kokako Trust is a group of volunteers dedicated to protecting the kokako that live in the Kaharoa Conservation Area, near Rotorua. By reducing the number of possums and rats in the forest, the community-based Trust has enabled kokako numbers to grow.

As a result of the Trust's ever-expanding activities, Kaharoa is now home to one of the largest and most significant kokako populations in New Zealand.

Through our work to protect kokako, we are also enabling the natural ecosystem to flourish and allowing many other native birds to thrive. Our vision is to amplify the sounds and the beauty of the forest for all to enjoy.
