Urban Ark - Manawa Taiao is an environmental charity which supports groups working to improve native biodiversity across the central isthmus of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. Our groups are involved with removing pest weeds, planting native speicies, trapping invasive predators and advocating for nature in the city.

Urban Ark seeks to integrate the impact of the groups across the wider Auckland isthmus to create a coordinated approach.
