What's up DOC?

Have you ever seen a takahē? April is Takahē Awareness Month and could be your chance to learn about a piece of conservation history and even see one in person at one of our many sanctuaries. With a current population of around 375 takahē, they've come a long way since being considered extinct over 70 years ago. Last year, the Takahē Recovery Programme celebrated the establishment of the second wild takahē population in Kahurangi National Park. This month DOC's taking the opportunity to celebrate the great work of the wider takahē team along with Ngāi Tahu, national partner Fulton Hogan and our network of supporters. Watch the Takahē Recovery short video to learn more about the journey of takahē, from rediscovery to release into Kahurangi National Park.

Tiakina Ngā Manu launch - formally known Battle for our Birds Our monitoring has confirmed the predicted mega mast or heavy seeding in New Zealand’s forests this autumn. Heavy seeding provides a bonanza of food for native species but also fuels rodent and stoat plagues that pose a serious threat to native birds. In response we're planning our largest-ever predator control programme, Tiakina Ngā Manu to protect native birds, bats, frogs, lizards and giant land snails across the country. |

Child and Youth Wellbeing
What makes a good life?Today the Office of the Children’s Commissioner and Oranga Tamariki released their joint report - What makes a good life?. It provides an overview of what they heard from more than 6,000 children and young people, commissioned as part of the wider public engagement to inform the Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy. |
|
They talked about what the good life looks like to them, the things that get in the way, and what we need to focus on to make things better. While most children are enjoying many elements of wellbeing, up to a third indicated they were facing challenges in some aspect of their life, and one in ten face multiple challenges. These include racism, discrimination, bullying, poverty, violence and drugs. Overwhelmingly, young people have said they want to be accepted for who they are and who they want to be. |

We want to keep hearing from people as this work progresses. You can share your views and ideas by contacting us on: |
