Sustainable Conservation Conference

Di from Kerikeri District

We are excited to share our Sustainable Conservation Conference Program with you!

We know New Zealand’s heavy use of poisons is damaging our environment and putting our flora and fauna, as well as people at risk. We are ready to have a discussion on the positive changes necessary to bring about the shift away from poisons to an ecologically sound approach that takes the whole ecosystem into consideration. We firmly believe that we can change our ways, it will however, take collective effort and positive solutions.

Please join us for this important conference on April 6 & 7 at the beautiful art space and theatre, Lopdell House in Titirangi, Auckland.

We are humbled to be hosting a diverse group of speakers from around the country, including Professor Ian Shaw, Toxicologist from the University of Canterbury and Professor Wayne Linklater from the University of Victoria, who is a researcher of Wildlife Biology & Human Dimensions Ecology. A huge thank you to all our wonderful speakers - this wouldn't be possible without you, we look forward to lively and informative discussion surrounding the problems we are facing and the variety of positive solutions we can embrace.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
