March is Whio awareness month.
Numbers of Whio, or
native blue duck are dangerously low. With less than 3000 of
the species left, the Department of Conservation, New
Zealand Forest and Bird, Genesis Energy and the Central
North Island Blue Duck Trust have joined forces this month
to raise awareness of the native Whio. We’d like your help
too.
…everything
you need to tell New Zealand about our native
Whio.
Because if we don’t do something, the ten
dollar note is the only place we’ll be seeing the Whio in
the future.
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
