Fire breaks vs WRC efforts

Byron from Naenae

Who has noticed there are no firebreaks left around the hills of Naenae?
I know they look like a scar on the landscape - but they do serve a purpose ..luckily enough we have not had any fires lately - *recalling the years of fires dotted over the hills at Guy Fawkes etc ** - but IF we get any fires in the hills over what may be a very hot summer at times...
there is now not a lot that would help slow the beast - nor much easy access for the services to get there..jus sayin....
Cmon WRC lockdown long over and I am sure there are plenty of staff able to get the toys out and go clear our firebreaks again....

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!
