Kauri are one of Aotearoa's unique taonga
Kauri trees are found amongst other native trees throughout the Upper North Island. But kauri dieback disease is threatening kauri with extinction. There is no cure for kauri dieback disease, it can be spread by just a pinhead of soil, and you can't tell by looking whether a tree is infected or not. But kauri will be saved – by people like you.

Significance of kauri to
Māori Culture
Kauri have had a large part to play not just in the landscape and early history of Aotearoa, but the important role kauri has for Māori.
Clean ALL soil off your footwear and other gear EVERY TIME you ENTER or LEAVE an area with kauri.
Use disinfectant only after you have removed all soil.
