Nourish kai hampers packed and ready to Xmas

Reporter Community News

It was a big target, but Claire Turner and Gabrielle Ralph rose to the challenge.
The pair from charity Nourish kai hampers raised $135,000 so as many as 1000 families in-need won’t face bare cupboards this Christmas.
About 80 volunteers packed 1000 hampers worth $150 for those who need it most across Porirua, Hutt Valley and Tawa on Saturday – the highest number the charity has put together, and double last year’s demand.

Some Choice News!

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!
