Covid thoughts/planning

Dave from Levin

www.stuff.co.nz... pretty relevant at the moment and worth a read . Our immediate neighbourhood have followed the recommendation and it is already in use . For those who don't want to read the whole thing it basically says "your covid support plan probably depends on people who , if you think about it , will all be your close contacts and thus isolating themselves . So talk to your neighbours and set up a small neighbourhood support group i.e. who can walk your dogs or get you a bottle of milk and leave it at your front door

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!
