Rediscovered in 1948, the Takahe still struggles to breed, so dedicated captive management programmes are vital to protect and nurture this endangered bird. 

We are proud to support Mitre 10 Takahe Rescue – a sponsorship partnership with DOC that was made possible by the New Zealand National Parks and Conservation Foundation.

Mitre 10 contributions:

•20 cents from selected Native grasses donated to the Burwood  Takahe Recovery unit in Te Anau. Just look for the blue pots or  Takahe Rescue Tags on the product. More information available  here.

•$5 From the Takahe AA calendar.

Balloon day is proudly supported by Mitre 10 and Pink Batts. The campaign's objectives are simple: to increase awareness of the effects of respiratory disease in New Zealand, and to raise money for child asthma research.

Mitre 10 stores throughout the country will sell the Foundation’s lollipops at their counters and local asthma societies ran awareness events.

How you can help:

• Txt BREATHE to 3979 to automatically donate $3.
• Call 0900 ASTHMA (0900 4278 462) to make an automatic $20 donation to child asthma research.

A healthy home is warm, dry and pollutant-free. Unfortunately too many New Zealand homes are damp, cold and below the 18 degrees celsius recommended by the World Health Organisation resulting in one of the highest rates of asthma in the world.
