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?

Our beautiful cat Buster has gone missing from Briarmont Street in Avondale christchurch and we’re absolutely heartbroken. He’s new to the area and this was his very first time being anywhere near the outdoors.
We believe he may have slipped out through a window sometime yesterday, and we haven’t seen him since.
Buster is a much-loved member of our family.
He’s a gentle, curious boy who can be a little shy around new people, but he has a sweet nature once he feels safe.
Being unfamiliar with the area, he’s probably frightened and hiding somewhere close by, possibly under a deck, in a shed, or in someone’s garden.
He is microchipped, so if anyone finds him or spots a cat that might be him, please let me know straight away. Even a possible sighting could make all the difference.
We’re spending every spare moment searching, calling his name, and checking with neighbours. It’s really hard not knowing where he is or whether he’s okay.
We would be so grateful if people in the Avondale and Briarmont Street area could keep an eye out for a new cat who might look lost or confused.
If you think you’ve seen him, or if he’s come to your property for food or shelter, please message me or call/text 027 608 4338 anytime.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us look for Buster. Every share, sighting, and bit of kindness means so much right now.
Anybody sharpen a battery Bosch hedge trimmer and also hand shears. Thanks, Papanui area.
