Project Kiwi Trust is a kiwi conservation project operating on the Kūaotunu Peninsula, near Whitianga on the Coromandel Peninsula. Project Kiwi was the first community-based project in New Zealand to protect kiwi and has sustained its effort since 1996. The Trust currently uses a combination of pest and predator management as well as utilising the Operation Nest Egg programme to support the regional strategy to build Coromandel brown kiwi abundance. The Trust is proud of what it has achieved to date as well as the continued energy and enthusiasm it maintains. It operates with integrity and professionalism and strives to contribute national as well as regional kiwi recovery goals.
