This Mother’s Day we pay tribute to New Zealand mums ensuring the survival of our native species. Here’s some of our favourite photos…
Today mums, we salute you!



To all the mums, grandmothers, mother figures and caregivers out there, Happy Mothers Day, Whakamihia Te Rā o Te Māmā.
Made the end of a nice day even better seeing those cute photos.
Another breakthrough and achievement. This is the kind of events worth celebrating. Congratulations to all mums!
I love all the photos, thank you DOC for all the great work you do.
I have never before seen paradise duck chicks. I was overcome with their beauty.
Love the photo of the beautiful kākāpō!
Great photos.
A wonderful and fitting tribute.
