Bucket List..Elephant Trip
Hi Folks. Rather than wonder, thought why not. Life is to be Lived. “SO COME’ ON”
I have a trip planned for November for 2 weeks, volunteering at Elephant Nature Park Chang Mei. Rather than go alone wondered if maybe a lady with the same passion could be interested.... You would be a non smoker or vaper, would not need a lot of make up to look and feel nice, natural is good, the hard part, thinking 65 to 75 also fairly fit to be able to help with the-volunteering and work not hard but a requirement.
.Can I pay no sorry certainly can share all expenses, hotels meals trips etc with pleasure.
Please if interested get in touch,I have been before so know the drill. It’s great fun,lovely people variety of different animals. Really is a Bucket list Blast.Approx cost 4K ish

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
