Wildlife

Eventually a significant section of the sanctuary will be be restored to its natural state through natural and active reintroduction, regeneration and revegetation. This will create a representative range of natural communities that would have been present on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula originally, including coastal lowland forest, dunelands, cliff, rocky and sandy shore communities, and saline and freshwater wetlands.

You can find a summary of the flora of each kind of ecosystem below, along with short description of our birds and lizards.   You can also read how to create a wildlife sanctuary in your own garden.
