Wild Stories (and they’re all true!)

Let us tell you a story…

Stories from Wild Dunedin and Beyond share the people, places, and passions that make Ōtepoti and the surrounding region, the wildlife capital of Aotearoa. From festival highlights to meeting our contributors, to inspiring conservation mahi across the motu, our stories shine a light on our connection to nature and the incredible efforts being made to protect it for future generations.
