This year the focus of Conservation Week is taking action for nature.

Whether it is by picking up rubbish, donating time or money to a local community group, there is always something you can do to help our environment and the native species that make Aotearoa special.

Engage online, at activities or events, or explore your own backyard to embrace what's always been there; look, listen, breathe and feel.
