Givealittle page for Christchurch Muslim community raises nearly $3 million as donations continue to flood in
Over 42,000 people have donated to the mass Givealittle fund set up for the families affected by the Christchurch twin terror attacks, reaching a close $3 million. The Givealittle fund raiser began on March 15 and has since raised $2,825,128. A statement on the website says, “We've been overwhelmed with donations - more than we thought possible - and we now need to create more formal processes than would be needed for the much smaller fund we expected this page would create.” 49 people have been confirmed dead, with two children in ICU and several people still being treated for injuries. The terrorist attack that has shaken the nation took place on Friday afternoon, affecting two of Christchurch’s mosques. All donations received through the fund will be ring-fenced to provide resources and support to those affected by this horrific event, Victims Support says.

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!
