The tūturuatu, shore plover, is an endangered species with fewer than 250 individuals remaining in the wild. Working with the New Zealand Department of Conservation, our team developed a campaign to increase public awareness regarding the fragile status of the tūturuatu. After gauging public awareness and conducting expert interviews, our team developed educational activities, as well as a social marketing manual to aid in the creation of content for a social media presence for the tūturuatu.
