Predator control helps save endangered Takahē
In a major milestone for conservation, 18 takahē have been released into the Rees Valley, marking their return to this alpine region.
Supported by Local Grants funding from Lotto NZ players, Southern Lakes Sanctuary has transformed the area into a safe haven through extensive predator control, removing over 1,947 predators with 596 traps.
These efforts protect takahē and over 15 other threatened species. This community-led project, powered by over 1,000 volunteers and Lotto NZ funding, ensures native wildlife thrives for future generations.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
