In this compelling conversation, I am joined by Nicola Toki from Forest and Bird. 

While Forest & Bird turns 100 this year, the 'Bird of the Year' competition has been running since 2005 and has become a wonderful way to celebrate and learn about nature. This years special 'Bird of the Century' competition has become a global phenomenon, thanks to television star John Oliver's recent involvement.

In the podcast Nicola talks about the remarkable work of Forest and Bird and the sobering reality of conservation challenges in New Zealand, with 82% of all our current native birds on the threatened species list. What part do cats and deer play in threatening native bird species and what effect do the efforts of campaigns like Save the Kiwi have? Nicola sheds light on the progress of the organisation, and the challenges in securing support and funds.

We delve into the changing perceptions of the environment among New Zealanders, how volunteers are taking action to protect wildlife, and we look at the importance of investing in protecting our environment, mitigating the impacts of climate change, and the need for a shift in mindset towards conservation land.

Tune in to learn more about reconnecting with nature, the devastating impact of natural events on wildlife, and how you can support conservation efforts through donations and volunteering.
