Aotearoa post Covid 19
I have sent the following letter to ministers Robertson, Twyford and Jones:
Post Covid 19, Aotearoa's future
Human societies do not make radical changes easily. In history it has required some kind of disaster or dangerous crisis for humans to accept the need for radical change. This is surely the situation we are facing now. I hear many voices in New Zealand and around the world calling for a radical re-think of how we plan for the future of life on this planet. Please be courageous in your planning and decision-making. Do not be afraid to create an Aotearoa which leads into a new way of living for the future.
The philosophies of Neo-Liberalism must be put behind us, the ever-growing gap between the rich and poor must must be reversed.
All forms of agriculture and food production must become regenerative and sustainable.
Influence over decision-making must cease to be monopolised by the elite and the wealthy.
We must stop balancing the economy against the environment.
Without an environment which supports healthy life on this planet, all business, all industry, all food production will fail. There will be no profits for share holders. there will be no society as we know it.
In your decision-making, please be courageous and face the tasks in front of you with honesty and wisdom.
Yours very sincerely,

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Tacking the bamboo-like pest in the Manawatū
🌱 A new national scheme led by Biosecurity New Zealand is tackling an invasive weed that’s threatening wetlands, waterways, and forests in and around Manawatū, reports the Manawatū Standard.
💬 Our question to you: Do we sometimes overlook plants when investing in conservation?
Have you spotted this weed in your area, or noticed other local efforts to protect our native flora?
