Kapiti wellbeing.
Did you know that a group of dedicated people are working hard to establish the Kapiti Coast as a wellbeing hub?
The vision is that we become known all over the country (and overseas) as the place to visit for wellbeing services and events.
So if you are a wellbeing provider please join the private facebook group Kāpiti Wellbeing Collective. This will keep you up to date on progress and the opportunity to list your services on the very new website www.kapitiwellbeing.nz....
The aim is to have so many services listed that it really seriously is the go to place to find what anyone wants for their wellbeing. Your help is needed.
PS. if you are already part of the collective, do list your service on the website. It's super easy to do. There is a small cost because how else do we grow and spread the word.
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!
