Jobs for Nature funding w/ Jason from Otago's Penguin Place: February 4, 2022

Otago's Penguin Place is a conservation reserve and rehabilitation facility to help save Hoiho penguins from extinction. 

Previously self-funded through tourism before the pandemic, the Penguin refuge is one of the projects being supported through the Government's Jobs for Nature funding.

Jessica Hopkins spoke to Rehab Manager Jason, who says this funding will allow them to continue providing crucial rehabilitation care for sick, starving or wounded penguins as well as habitat restoration, predator control, and research.
