One world shared by all

Reporter Manawatū Standard

Kia ora e hoa mā,

Palmerston North's festival of cultures saw more than 10,000 people come together to explore and celebrate each others differences through food, music, dance and conversations.

Across the city, more than 100 different cultures were showcased, with Egypt taking home the trophy for best stall this year.

The city is home to a variety of people from all different backgrounds, do we need to learn more about our neighbours we share the city with?

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!
