Poll: If you had a bit of spare cash, would you 'buy' into a pest-free island?
Kiwis have always had a soft spot for our animal friends. With so many unique and quirky birds and marine species calling Aotearoa home, itās only natural that we feel a deep drive to protect them š§š¦
These days, weāre getting pretty creative about how we do it too. The latest idea? You can actually buy a symbolic piece of one of New Zealandās 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 ā should we be looking at doing the same kind of thing for wildlife refuges on our main islands too?
