Kiwis have always had a soft spot for our animal friends. With so many unique and quirky birds and marine species calling Aotearoa home, it’s only natural that we feel a deep drive to protect them 🐧🦭

These days, we’re getting pretty creative about how we do it too. The latest idea? You can actually buy a symbolic piece of one of New Zealand’s most remote islands as part of the Auckland Island Restoration Project.

If you had a bit of spare cash, would you 'buy' into the project?
And maybe the bigger question — should we be looking at doing the same kind of thing for wildlife refuges on our main islands too?

AT Parking Proposals 'Have your say on parking in Newmarket'.

Andy from Remuera

Has anyone noticed that the AT plan has just about eliminated cycles and cycle lanes from the plan? Just a proposed cycle parking on the corner of Kingdon Street and Khyber Pass Road, and that presumably will be for hire bikes.
