Tītoki is one of the most attractive specimen trees of our native forests, but few today would guess its seeds were once highly valued by both Māori and European for its high quality oil, writes Rob Tipa. Early settlers often referred to tītoki (Alectryon excelsus) as New Zealand ash, but it beca...

I think we can all agree that there are some pretty spectacular birds out there, with stunning plumage and eye-catching colors, it’s hard to believe some are even real! That is exactly the case when it comes to this bird, even the name sounds made up, but I assure you...
SLOW COOKER 3-INGREDIENT XMAS CAKE
1 kg mixed fruit (I add a packet of glacé cherries)
2 Cups Chocolate Milk
1/2-3/4 Cup Baileys (OR your preference of sweet liquor)
2 Cups SR Flour
Soak fruit in milk & Baileys for 24hrs. Fold in flour. Line slow cooker with 2 layers of baking paper on bottom and sides. (I also double a long strip and put in first so easier to pull out when cooked). Pour batter in and even out. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Tea towel under lid.

For over the past decade, Pinkie the dolphin has been wowing residents and visitors in Louisiana. While some dolphins can have pink bellies, Pinkie is completely pink from nose to tail. Scientists speculate that Pinkie has albinism, a genetic condition in which a dolphin is born without the pigment....
…. fantails, or pīwakawaka use their tails to help them look for food? Fantails use their broad tails to change direction quickly while hunting for insects. They sometimes hop around upside-down amongst tree ferns and foliage to pick insects from the underside of leaves They seldom feed on the ground.
Known for its friendly ‘cheet cheet’ call and energetic flying antics, the fantail is one of the most common and widely distributed native birds on the New Zealand mainland.

We are proud to have supported Ikuntji Artists, a locally owned and run not-for-profit Indigenous art centre in 230km west of , with their recent upgrades to building infrastructure and maintenance for their art centre.
Through the ILSC's national funding program , we were able to contribute to the purchase of two rain water tanks and gutters, new security screens on all windows and doors and improvements to other building facilities.
This will support the growth of the art centre and now also means that artists can work comfortably in the facility. We can’t wait to see what works the artists will be producing!!!

The Story How The Kiwi Lost Its Wings, The kiwi sacrifice its wings become the most well known and most loved bird of New Zealand.
Mapuna is Manukura Little White Kiwi's younger brother. He's not on display like Manukura so it feels extra special to catch a glimpse of him. This photo was captured by Ranger Tara after Mapuna's health check this morning. He passed with flying colours...as has our team of 5 million kiwis. Great news this afternoon that we're moving to Alert Level 1 from midnight. A great day for kiwis all round!

The maps are wrong. Or, at least, incomplete. New Zealand is not a chain of islands strung along the coast of Australia.
AUSTRALIA IS NOT RUNNING OUT OF WATER... IT IS BEING SOLD FOR PROFIT ! Let's stop arguing about whether climate change is real or a hoax, it really doesn't matter any more. Australia is in a catastrophic state of emergency and if these water mis-use practices are not immediately ceased, the situatio...

The Maramataka is above and separate to the planet but the moon is still affected by the events on the earth by the effects of the sun. We are all connected, as taught to us by our tupuna.
The need to share and utilise indigenous knowledge to protect the environment has never been more important than now.
The effects of the modern world upon the environment has been discussed for generations since the industrial age began.
A mixture of old and young perspectives will be needed to reverse the damage.
Older generation have local tribal knowledge passed down by hand to their children to practise.
Young people have the attitude to practise those old tribal "tapu" methods to restore balance.
Politics is causing a major disruption in the solution finding process and the Millenials attitude is a brave, no time for games persona that I like. They are changing the world and I am tentatively supporting their changes.
The world through technology is too small to ignore the issues, or blame it on others, or persecute others when the ego or beliefs disrupt the solution.
Environmental management is not a spectators sport. This is something we all, every single one of us has to face.
The devastating affect the world is facing is no longer a debate.
What we do about it is fast running out too.
