Spirited Conversations - Wednesday 26 October
Multicultural Youth Nelson Tasman (MYNTies) speaking on
That's MYNT!
Do young people see things differently? Meet the MYNTies, a group of young people aged 14 - 21 living in the Nelson-Tasman region. Some are new arrivals; others have been here much longer. They come from all corners of the globe, speak many different languages and represent a wide range of cultures.
The MYNTies will talk about their mission to empower young people through the projects they've set up, sharing their passion for achieving acceptance for all, and unity in diversity. Come and discuss, eat, drink, listen, question and comment.
Where? Café Yaza, Montgomery Square, Nelson
Yaza opens for dining/drinks at 6.00pm.
Conversation 7.30-9.30pm.

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!
