A finely engraved yellow‑eyed penguin (hoiho) captured in clean, intentional linework on beautifully warm acacia wood. Measuring 34.5 cm x 14.5 cm, this piece is designed purely for display — a gentle, conservation‑rooted artwork honouring one of Aotearoa’s most vulnerable taonga.

Hoiho populations continue to decline due to habitat loss, disease, and human pressures. Displaying this board keeps their story visible, reminding us that conservation isn’t just fieldwork — it’s the everyday conversations, visibility, and small acts of advocacy we carry into our homes.

The rich acacia grain gives the engraving depth and warmth, making it a striking centrepiece for any wall, table, or mantle. Style it in your home, gift it to a wildlife‑hearted friend, or let it stand as a quiet reminder of the species that need us most.

A thoughtful, nature‑rooted celebration of Aotearoa’s wildlife.
