St Francis of Assisi lived from 1181 to 1226 in Italy and is known as the patron saint of animals, the environment, Italy, merchants and stowaways. Francis was born into the privileged life of a nobleman, but eventually worldly desires no longer satisfied him. He wanted a simpler life with his love for poverty, nature and simplicity. Eventually, he founded the religious order of Franciscans, whose brothers preached the Gospel, made poverty holy, and worked hard to bring the word of God to a world that desperately needed it. He is known as the first person to receive the stigmata.

Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?
