Where did you find your missing item?
More than a year after Amanda Nally lost her USB stick on a beach, she will be able to view the memories stored on it once again.
NIWA scientists took a sample of leopard seal excrement, froze it and have only just thawed it out to discover the interesting find.
Now they are on a mission to return the stick to its owner.
Where is the strangest place you've found something you thought was lost?
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

Some Choice News!
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!
