Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Seuseu Naitoa Ah Kuoi couldn’t have wished for a more fitting opponent for his first start of the Super Rugby Pacific season.

The experienced Chiefs lock is back in the run-on side for Friday night’s round-four clash against Moana Pasifika in Hamilton - and now sporting the Samoan matai title of ‘Seuseu’ in front of his first name.

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!
