In 1993 a group of hunters founded The Fiordland Wapiti Foundation, initially as a deer management program. Since then, the Foundation has become guardians of one of Aotearoa's treasures – Fiordland National Park, one of the world’s most prestigious wilderness areas and part of Te Wāhipounamu - South West New Zealand World Heritage Area.

Formed to address the potential threat to flora and fauna of the Fiordland National Park caused by Wapiti deer, an introduced species, while maintaining a quality herd for future trophy hunting opportunities. Funded by Recreational Wapiti hunters out of their own pockets, it has been the most successful deer management program in New Zealand. This is a win- win for both conservation and recreation, and since 2005 it has accounted for over 18,000 unwanted deer to date.

Out of that deer management the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation has grown a responsibility for Fiordland, a responsibility not only for the Wapiti deer but also for Fiordland and its environment. Back Country Cuisine is proud to support the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation's conservation efforts with a portion of sales revenue from our website and the collection of donations for the charity.
