Sustainable Conservation Conference
We are excited to share our Sustainable Conservation Conference Program with you!
We know New Zealand’s heavy use of poisons is damaging our environment and putting our flora and fauna, as well as people at risk. We are ready to have a discussion on the positive changes necessary to bring about the shift away from poisons to an ecologically sound approach that takes the whole ecosystem into consideration. We firmly believe that we can change our ways, it will however, take collective effort and positive solutions.
Please join us for this important conference on April 6 & 7 at the beautiful art space and theatre, Lopdell House in Titirangi, Auckland.
We are humbled to be hosting a diverse group of speakers from around the country, including Professor Ian Shaw, Toxicologist from the University of Canterbury and Professor Wayne Linklater from the University of Victoria, who is a researcher of Wildlife Biology & Human Dimensions Ecology. A huge thank you to all our wonderful speakers - this wouldn't be possible without you, we look forward to lively and informative discussion surrounding the problems we are facing and the variety of positive solutions we can embrace.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
