Protect copper butterflies
Look at these gorgeous copper butterflies, all found ONLY in NZ. There are some incredibly rare ones. Aren't they beautiful?
The Moths and Butterflies of NZ Trust is fundraising to undertake DNA research for their Butterfly Discovery Project, starting with our copper butterflies. They are found only in NZ and if they become extinct, we cannot reintroduce them.
The plan is to raise $15,000 to protect the butterflies - read more about it HERE. You can help... if ten people gave $5 it will all add up. Even sharing this post far and wide will help!

Poll: Is street parking fair game?
Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.
