"I didn't expect my braces to come off so fast. I taught it will be at least a year and a half, but instead only took ten months. After a week into treatment, the braces stopped bothering me and I was able to eat most of the food I could originally eat. Jo, Lisa and Sophia were very friendly and fun to chat with. Gin was very professional. He was easy and undemanding." -B Tanner

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!
