Book Discussion Scheme

Book Discussion Scheme

Kia ora booklovers! Renee here from Book Discussion Scheme. I just wanted to let you know about a great way to connect with other local bookworms: BDS Book Clubs!

BDS makes running a book club easy and fun. We provide your club with a complete set of books each month — enough copies for everyone to read the same book at the same time — as well as discussion notes to help you get the most out of your meetings.

You choose your books from our catalogue of over 1,100 titles and we take care of the rest!

Find out more about how to start your own book club today.

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!
