The T-shirts are available via the Glowing Sky website, with a generous contribution from each T-shirt going to the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust.

"As Stewart Islanders we have been aware of the fine work the Trust has been doing on Rakiura for many years, and are thrilled to be able to help support the cause."

Sue Murray, General Manager of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust said Glowing Sky have a long standing relationship with the Trust and the idea originally started with T-shirts being designed for the 20th Anniversary Conference held by the Trust in 2007.

"These T-shirts will make great gifts for Christmas or any other special occasion and can be purchased by anyone in New Zealand or overseas, she said. "Glowing Sky can arrange delivery to just about any destination in the world and what a wonderful way to support conservation activity for endangered yellow-eyed penguins".

Funds raised by the sale of these special T-shirts will go toward conservation activity that includes - the production and planting of approx. 10,000 native trees and shrubs each year, restoring coastal habitats, fencing and purchasing land or negotiating protective status for breeding habitats as well as maintenance of the habitats.
