7 years on....

Julia Neighbourly Lead from Waimairi Beach

www.facebook.com... Next Thursday, the “Letterboxes” campaign is being launched to highlight the EQC and Insurance limbo thousands of us are still in #7YearsOn The website, twitter account and FB page will go live then too. This is to coincide with Feb 22, the 7th anniversary of the CHCH EQ.

The Facebook page will explain more later, but if you are capable of taking a photo of your letterbox then you can be a part of this. Even If you’re outside CHCH, we need you. If you’re a celeb or have a profile, we need you. If you’re stuck in Eqc / insurance limbo - we definitely need you. If you support those stuck - We need you. On Thurs 15th Feb we will be holding a silent, respectful protest, 10am. More info to follow.
This isn't for those suffering... It's for everyone who cares.
Please share this anywhere, if you can.

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!
