Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), facilitates both the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meetings and the Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking Meetings.
These meetings provide a platform for community stakeholders, government departments, non-government organisations, not-for profit community groups and the public to make solid connections, learn from each other, and to share and discuss ideas.
It’s also a forum for community and organisations to voice their opinion and/or raise concerns about what they feel needs addressing.
In turn, MECOSS may act as an advocate for change through Community Networks Aotearoa (CNA); a national organisation, which has strong links to government.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
