Our children need more foster carers
New Zealand needs more foster carers, from all cultures and walks of life, to ensure every child in need is given their chance in life. Your decision to foster could be the most rewarding choice of your life, for everyone involved.
We know that great foster care is about more than qualifications and job titles; it’s having life experience, strength, empathy and the will to provide children with a safe home.

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!
