Peter McClure, Managing Director of Fonterra Brands NZ Ltd, parent company of Mainland Brand, the principal sponsor of the Yellow Eyed Penguin Trust (left) with Euan Kennedy. |
Dr Euan Kennedy (1966-70) has spent the last 30 years working as a conservation ecologist, much of it at Lincoln University.
Euan is a founding trustee of the Yellow Eyed Penguin Trust, has been involved in research to improve knowledge of the genetic risks facing New Zealand bird species reduced to critically small population sizes, along with renowned investigation into the Otago skink and the grand skink which are two of New Zealand's rarest lizards.
The Yellow Eyed Penguin Trust is the first charity in this country to support a single species and in September became the first New Zealand conservation trust to receive the prestigious Bird Life International Conservation Achievement Award.
