Art for the New Zealand Shore Plover
The New Zealand Society is pleased to
announce, in association with the New Zealand Department of
Conservation (DOC) and the Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society,
an auction in London on 10 October 2008, of New Zealand art to
raise funds for The New Zealand Shore Plover Appeal.
The New Zealand shore plover “Thinornis
novaeseelandiae" is one of the rarest plover species in the world.
It is a Nationally Critical ranked species (the highest possible
threat status). The NZ shore plover is a small, colourful shorebird
that was once widespread in the coastal areas of New Zealand but by
the late 1800s had become confined to a small population on the
Chatham Islands. The current world population, including birds in
captivity, is estimated at less than 250.
The New Zealand Society NZ Shore Plover
Appeal art auction will raise money to continue the 5 year
reintroduction programme on Mana Island and to upgrade the captive
breeding aviaries at Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre.
The donated art, from New Zealand artists or art that has a New Zealand
theme, is now on exhibition at Suze in
Mayfair until the auction, to be held in
the Penthouse, NZ House on 10
October 2008.
We are extremely grateful for the
support of Crown
Fine Arts in assisting with transporting art from
New Zealand.
