Help Orokonui Ecosanctuary to help wildlife, the forest and our future thrive – Donate to us

Orokonui was founded as a charitable trust with lofty conservation goals, and although much has changed since 2007, that remains the same. Now more than ever we need your help to ensure we can continue this vital conservation, education and advocacy work. A donation to Orokonui Ecosanctuary helps us along our path to creating a better future for our wildlife, environment and community.

Help world-leading research

Orokonui is a living laboratory. Every year we host a wide variety of world-leading research on threatened species.

Help secure a future for the forest

Our forest was around long before Orokonui, and we want to ensure it endures for future generations.
