Be in the draw to win a $100 MTA voucher! Do our FASD survey!

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Today is FASD Awareness Day. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the most preventable cause of intellectual disability in the developed world. It is estimated that up to 3,000 babies live with FASD in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

To help inform our work, we would like to hear from you about what you think would work to support women to have an alcohol free pregnancy. Please provide your thoughts on two quick questions in the link below.

Each entry goes in the draw to win a $100 MTA voucher. The survey closes on Friday, 25 September.

To prevent FASD, say no to alcohol if you are trying to get pregnant, are pregnant, or could be pregnant. Support your loved ones and friends to think about their drinking if they could be pregnant, or to have alcohol-free pregnancies.

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!
