The news about Maungatautari is just terrible. I give them $100 a month - 3% of my income. If everyone just gave them $5 - a cup of coffee - per month, think what a difference this would make. As well as kiwi, they have thriving populations of kaka and kokako and are one of the few sanctuaries where hihi seem to be happy. How can we find money for completely unnecessary 'Roads of National Importance', while watching Maungatatauri close down? Successive governments continue to betray our native biodiversity: these places need certainty - not an annual scrabble for funds to keep them going.
