Easter awareness
Please be on the lookout for pet rabbits roaming around, not all would be dumped some might just not have been secured properly and dug out of the hutch but well... it's that time of year again...
Rabbits are an easily 12yr+ commitment which when they're an impulse easter purchase can be far too long for some and misconception leads to others thinking they can survive in the wild when the domestic breeds have no knowledge of how to dig a proper shelter nor can they adapt to changes in weather, with us having falcons around, cat saliva is toxic to them, not to mention wandering dogs and cars, it's a bleak environment for a rabbit who is bred to be in a human home not out in the wild, even the suburban wild
Even if you don't find any wandering around it'd make a difference if you're able to donate to the Wellington Rabbit Rescue, I know money can be tight for many so the most powerful thing you can do is learn and spread awareness

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!

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
