Poll: Should Nelson City Council help save Natureland?

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Should the council put up the funds, or not? Do you have any other ideas for how to save the zoo, or has it's time come? Let us know in the poll or comments below.
Natureland is in trouble, after receiving less council funding than they requested last year.
Possibly the only way to save the business, according to a letter sent to the council by the Natureland Wildlife Trust board chair, is to receive the remaining funding they initially requested, otherwise the zoo will close and the animals will go, either to other zoos or, worst case scenario, by being euthanised.
What do you think should be done?

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

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 β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
