	<description>In 1987 Dunedin conservationists formed the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust with the aim of saving the penguin by restoring coastal forest and controlling predators. The penguin is the focus but the Trust's efforts also benefit other native species of plant and animal.  The Trust is based in Dunedin but manages land and penguin interests in the whole of mainland New Zealand.</description>
