I’m part of a group using a repurposed classroom to run citizen science workshops in Christchurch’s red zone. If you know an Ōtautahi teen who’s interested in nature and wants to learn some entomology or ecology, one of us is starting an after-school club. Spread the word.

It’s such a drag when you travel to another city for research and can only do 4 hours a day - doubles cost of accommodation (been hit by this lately) 😩

A thread on some different archival reading room hours. In NZ you can theoretically get in 5 hours a day at Archives NZ in Wellington if happy to skip lunch (open 10am-3pm, Mon-Fri).

In October 2021 New Zealand committed to NZ $1.3 billion in grant-based climate finance for the Pacific between 2022 and 2025. “We still don’t know if it will be renewed,” said New Zealand High Commissioner Si’alei Van Toor, leading to a few gentle digs at New Zealand in panel discussion #nzpol

If the economic damages of climate change are at least 6x > the cost of mitigation (and probably much more imho), why aren’t we acting like it? Because it’s not about economics: it’s about injustice. Those who hold the balance of power + wealth are not those who bear the brunt of the impacts.

It's a headline-worthy treat when one of these critters visits us. As they spend most of their time elsewhere, lets put effort into conserving elsewhere (the sub Antarctic islands and the Southern Ocean) so that we have the possability of these chance meetings.
