We’re proud to stand with almost 100 of the world’s foremost conservation organisations to demand deforestation-free sustainable palm oil.

Palm oil is linked to rapid loss of biodiversity when produced unsustainably. Palm oil is fine when grown in a sustainable way.

Check out the video to see why it’ll save wildlife.

We hope you are staying safe in your bubble! If you didn’t see this last lockdown, or want to try it again we have restored the student activity page to entertain and educate your animal lovers, big and small! https://m.oranawildlifepark.co.nz/activities.html -

Throughout Orana Wildlife Park we have a large number of live cameras to allow us to keep a close eye on all the animals. Some of these cameras have been made available for you to enjoy along with pages scripted to let you study the animals behaviour through Focal Animal or Scan Sampling techniques.
