Wairepo Wetland Stories

Episode 1

"Our wetland may be small, but plays a crucial role in supporting the environmental health of animals and plants and it moderates flood risk.

Diverse ecosystems are the foundation of life. They can be big or small, but they all make a difference.

Help to create and protect them!"

Game inspired by the work of Sonja and Sen in their wetland in Kawakawa New Zealand.
