Tiwai was identified as a special biosphere for wildlife conservation in the late 1970’s and later, on the request of the Barri & Koya peoples, who recognized Tiwai’s value, gained official status as a wildlife sanctuary.

Community Conservation Initiative
Tiwai is a community conservation programme, managed by the Tiwai Island Administrative Committee (TIAC), which represents both communities, government, Universities & conservation organizations. All funds raised go towards running the project as well as supporting the Community Development Fund, to help finance community initiated programmes.
