Throughout March, ZEALANDIA is hosting an exhibition by photographer Chris Helliwell, in the gallery by the Rātā Cafe stairwell.

“Faces of Zealandia” is the first in a series of New Zealand nature portraits by award winning photographer Chris Helliwell. Chris has been photographing New Zealand’s amazing and beautiful wildlife for over six years and has spent many hours studying and photographing his subjects.

Join us for the ZEALANDIA Easter Egg-cellent Adventure! Kids go free and this year we’ve teamed up with our friends at Whittaker’s to offer some extra tasty treats. 

Pick up a special Easter map and join the hunt for a series of 'eggs’. Return your map for a free chocolate treat and go in the draw to win some cool prizes! 

Conservation in cities is hard. The impacts of urbanisation on native ecosystems are extremely high and hard to overcome, and the remaining patches of habitat are often highly disturbed, weedy and small.

So why do we do conservation in these landscapes? What does it mean for biodiversity, and for people? 

Join Dr Danielle Shanahan, Director of ZEALANDIA’s Centre for People and Nature, as she explores these questions, drawing on examples from across the Oceania region.
