Fear of abuse sidelining refs

Kelley Tantau Reporter from Hauraki Herald

It's common knowledge that New Zealand is facing a shortage of referees, James Higgins said, and copping abuse was one of the main barriers. But the Thames Valley rugby ref has since celebrated 100 games, and encourages other former players to not be deterred by abuse, and pick up a whistle … View moreIt's common knowledge that New Zealand is facing a shortage of referees, James Higgins said, and copping abuse was one of the main barriers. But the Thames Valley rugby ref has since celebrated 100 games, and encourages other former players to not be deterred by abuse, and pick up a whistle instead.

Nelson to Declare Climate Emergency

Here is a Mayor who understands we all face a climate emergency -

"Her motion would be to publicly acknowledge that human-induced climate change "represents one of the greatest threats to humanity ... and that it is possible to prevent the most harmful outcomes" with sustained emergency action." We need sustained emergency climate action here in Thames Coromandel and that means leadership from TCDC to reduce its own emissions - not refusal to even acknowledge that humans are causing climate change.

Happy International day for Biological Diversity!

The Team from Department of Conservation

The theme of this year is “Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health” aiming to leverage knowledge and spread awareness of the dependency of our food, nutrition and health on keeping our ecosystems safe and healthy.

New Zealand, while recognised as a hot spot for biological diversity is not immune from the threats created by human activity. In the last 800 years, humans and introduced pests have caused the extinction of 32% of indigenous land and freshwater bird species, 3 of 7 frog species and one bat species, among others. Still today several of our special species are threatened with extinction including the kiwi and tuatara.

Days like this are important as they keep these topics at the forefront of our minds, give us an opportunity to talk and learn more about what we can do to help sustain our biological diversity.

Visit www.doc.govt.nz/nature/biodiversity for some resources to learn more about biodiversity in New Zealand and head to www.cbd.int/idb for more information on what you can set up to celebrate the International Day for Biodiversity.
