Some help identifying the best Pictograms for young people with stomach problems

Gayl from Mount Eden

Hi, Thanks you for those who have shown interest in this research. I am still wanting young people aged 5-18 to help me with getting these pictograms right. The pictograms (images) will be used by children and young people to help them describe the symptoms they experience. To understand if the pictograms are understandable and helpful for young people, we want to canvas a range of young people for their thoughts.

Participation consists of completing an online survey. It can be completed on a mobile device or laptop. If you or someone you know would like to participate, you can use this link auckland.au1.qualtrics.com... or email BSGM@auckland.ac.nz for more information.

It will take around 15-20 minutes to complete. All those that complete can opt into entering a draw for one of three $100 Westfield Vouchers.

The research has been approved by the NZ Health and Disability Ethics Committee 2022 Full 12705

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!
