OPEN CHALLENGE TO ALL
...with just over a month left in the year, do something awesome that will make you proud of yourself!
Some of us have had a real challenging year and feel like we have been fighting against the current and losing. If you accept this challenge and achieve your "awesomeness" you will finish the year WINNING!
Some of us have experienced a few years of "wtf", some of us have had a lifetime of it. Finishing this year with a meaningful win breaks the cycle of shit. Make this year the year you WON. You will have started a new history for yourself that you can build a more positive future off of.
Share your story if you feel the community could do with more awesomeness. By doing so you give others the courage to do the same!

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!
