Forest & Bird Local Branch Meeting & Guest Speaker
For our next branch meeting our guest speaker will be Des Ratima Deputy Chair of Biodiversity Hawkes Bay, whose topic will be ‘Kaitiakitanga v Ownership':
In the world of te taiao it is the responsibility to te taiao that is important, not the exploitation of te taiao. Having sustainable practices and mutual reciprocity between the requirements of man v the needs of Te Taiao. This is an inherent requirement of a kaitiaki.
Where: St Marks Hall, on the Corner of Queen St East and Park Rd North, Hastings
When: 7.30pm on Thursday 11th March 2021
ALL WELCOME
Note: As long as Covid-19 remains at level 2 for the Hawkes Bay, we will be proceeding with the monthly branch meeting and observing the appropriate protocols. If there is any change, we will notify you prior to the meeting.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
