The New Zealand National Parks and Conservation Foundation:

• manages a private endowment fund
• creates cause-related marketing projects
• attracts sponsorship monies from all levels of business and community
• builds relationships with well organised, highly motivated conservation groups
• drives a media awareness programme to lift the profile of conservation

During the Kathmandu Lizard Conservation survey undertaken by DOC, Puti, a highly trained border terrier, was used to sniff out geckos in wild terrain.

We are the only nation- wide fundraising organisation, endorsed by DOC that links the conservation estate with private individuals, businesses and visitors.

• we invite people in positions of influence to prioritise conservation.
• we promote approved conservation groups and projects to potential sponsors
• we manage funds and allocate them to projects that achieve conservation gains
