Community and Environment
The people of Conferenz and Bright*Star are passionate about New Zealand. We’re a Kiwi company through and through. Although we have incredible diversity (a recent count totted up 19 different nationalities amongst our small team), we all love it here, and want to work hard to make it better. That’s why we are committed to our community and environmental projects.
Kiwi Conservation
Whakaangi Landcare Trust’s kiwi conservation
New Zealand is at risk of losing its "National Icon". Once there were
millions of kiwi in NZ, there is now estimated to be less than 30,000.
Populations are crashing where there is no protection work being
carried out. Local extinctions have been recorded in Northland in
recent years. Complacency is the kiwi’s greatest danger. Conferenz
supports the direct work of Whakaangi Landcare Trust in its
establishment of a kiwi conservation area. Read more.
