Last minute Xmas Pressie

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

We are down to our last 30 Cat Rescue Calendars for the 2019 year so if you have that crazy cat family member, friend or just someone you want to reward for being an amazing animal advocate, they are available for sale at the Catnap Café on Columbo Street just down from 'the Columbo" in Sydenham.

A great place to drop into and unwind with the serenity of 15 cats and kittens, after doing your last minute Xmas Shopping in town. Not open on Monday and you might want to go to their facebook page and pre book as I am sure they will be super popular next week.

They also have a lot of Cat Rescue made crafts for cats and humans which make one off/unique last minute presents.

Thanks for reading. All profits from above go to vet bills in this buzy kitten and desexing season.

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!
