We can’t do it alone. We need your help! Any money you donate will go directly to supporting Taranaki projects restoring and protecting biodiversity. You get to choose where it goes to. And if you can’t help out with cash, you can help in other ways.
We were heartened by the interest in the Wai Connection workshop at the Biodiversity Forum where Wai Coordinators and Connectors Darlene, Timara and Lisa’s presentation shed light on how the initiative is aiming to support the region’s freshwater spaces. We put our facilitation training to the test and collated input from more than 50 Wild for Taranaki members to investigate what is important to the sector right now.
Key themes that stood out were Education & Awareness Building around freshwater issues, improving Communication within the sector about the mahi that is going on, diving deeper into Īnanga/Whitebait Regulation vs Mahinga Kai and the challenge of Funding. As the project develops, these insights will help inform our activities for 2025 so watch this space!
