Poll: Is this inflatable obstacle course something you'd try?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Mystery Creek’s cavernous hall will turn into the country’s biggest bouncy castle meets obstacle course — a 345-metre, six-lane serpent of air and vinyl — over the first five days of October.

There are slides, tunnels, and a make-believe rugby and football field in the middle. The soundtrack is the thrum of blowers and the squeak of socks on plastic.

Is this inflatable obstacle course something you'd try? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

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!
