Poll: Will we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aotearoa New Zealand is aiming to be predator-free in 2050 to ensure our islands' unique species of birds, frogs, lizards and plants can thrive.

Aotearoa New Zealand is aiming to be predator-free in 2050 to ensure our islands' unique species of birds, frogs, lizards and plants can thrive.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!

People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.

What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

Hello Lovely locals. Come along and learn this wonderful technique.

Ema will be holding a KINTSUGI WORKSHOP on Sat/Sun 11th/12th Oct here in Wellington again at the Hutt Art Society and Toi Poneke and she has limited spots available so make sure to book in early.

Have you ever wanted to try Kintsugi.... It's an ancient Japanese art form where you fix broken pottery with gold - making its imperfections its beauty. - A truly wonderful philosophy to live by. If you are interested please go to: emafrost.com...

I'm sure there's a few of you out there that have been saving a broken piece not knowing quite what to do with it, and if not Ema has plenty of back ups. So just bring yourselves and have some fun. Bring a friend and make some Kintsugi magic together.

These great guys set fire to stages and fill hearts with hope with their energetic and relatable alternative indie folk songs. Proud albino frontman Albi (Chris Dent), Pascal Roggen and Michael Young have crafted a stage show brimming with energy yet with pauses for reflection. The trio has a huge sound created simply by acoustic guitar, electric violin, double bass and three voices. Since 2014, Albi & the Wolves have gone from strength to strength touring Australia, New Zealand and Rarotonga. In 2018, they took home the Best Folk Artist Award at the NZVMAs. Fundraising now for their World Tour! Whether it’s connection through dance, singing or laughter, their performances inspire audiences to keep coming back for more. Come along for the special House Concert vibe. Not for profit, supporting our dedicated musicians. Teas, coffee and snacks provided.
