A GISBORNE Boys’ High School student’s aspirations of a career working with animals have been enhanced through his experience of the BLAKE Inspire programme. Merin-Michael David-Tomoana was selected in the first 2021 intake of the programme aimed at inspiring environmental leadership in young people. Merin-Michael was one of 35 students from around who came together in the Waikato to work alongside scientists, environmental experts and a diverse range of leaders, and learn about topical environmental issues and how to tackle them. Of particular interest to Merin-Michael was marine conservation, specifically protection of New Zealand waters. In the past the New Zealand government told the United Nations 30 percent of the country’s waters were in reserves, he said. However, in 2019, environmentalists won a battle to say that was not true and it was now accepted that there is only about 0.5 percent of New Zealand’s waters in “no take” reserves. This compared with 30 percent of land. Over the week-long BLAKE Inspire programme, students got to know each other and network, and develop their matauranga Maori (Maori knowledge), which is strongly connected to conservation. “It has a lot to do with the concepts of Maori being able to live with the environment instead of using the environment,” Merin-Michael said. INSPIRED: Gisborne Boys’ High Student Students teamed with National Institute Merin-Michael David-Tomoana was one of of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) 35 students to take part in the BLAKE Inspire scientists for a marine ecology session, with programme which encourages environmental a focus on sedimentation and its effects on leadership in young people.
