  • Local Government Leaders' Climate Change Declaration
    Local Government Leaders’ Climate Change Declaration In 2015, Mayors and Chairs of New Zealand declared an urgent need for responsive leadership and a holistic approach to climate change. We, the Mayors and Chairs of 2017, wholeheartedly support that call for action. Climate change presents significant opportunities, challenges and risks to communities throughout the world and in New Zealand. Local and regional government undertakes a wide range of activities that will be impacted by climate change and provides infrastructure and services useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience. We have come together, as a group of Mayors and Chairs representing local government from across New Zealand to: 1. acknowledge the importance and urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generations; 2. give our support to the New Zealand Government for developing and implementing, in collaboration with councils, communities and businesses, an ambitious transition plan toward a low carbon and resilient New Zealand; 3. encourage Government to be more ambitious with climate change mitigation measures; 4. outline key commitments our councils will take in responding to the opportunities and risks posed by climate change; and 5. recommend important guiding principles for responding to climate change. We ask that the New Zealand Government make it a priority to develop and implement an ambitious transition plan for a low carbon and resilient New Zealand. We stress the benefits of early action to moderate the costs of adaptation to our communities. We are all too aware of challenges we face shoring up infrastructure and managing insurance costs.

  • The Door at the Entrance of the Glow Worm Caves in Waitomo Was Once a Solid Door
    Exemplar for internal assessment resource Education for Sustainability for Achievement Standard 90811 The door at the entrance of the glow worm caves in Waitomo was once a solid door. As tourist numbers increased, so did the carbon dioxide levels inside the cave (more respiration due to higher numbers of visitors). In 1974, the solid door was replaced with an open grill gateway, with the aim that they could improve the airflow, but the stronger air currents caused the cave to dry out and a lot of the glow worms in the cave died as a result. Because the whole point of the cave was to show tourists the lights of the glowworms, and there were none to be seen, the caves were closed. A solid door was reinstalled and the open grill gateway is now only used if carbon dioxide levels get up too high, or if the weather is quite warm… Lighting put in for tourists and brought in by tourists, has impacted quite dramatically on the caves, and the flora and fauna that call it home. Early tourists saw the inside of the caves by using magnesium flares,which burnt with an extremely bright light, and they were able to see the cave, and all its formations really clearly. Unfortunately, the flares had a very big downfall. As they burned, they gave off a lot of black smoke, which stained the speleothems in the Aranui cave (Waitomo) quite badly. When they switched to electric lighting, they encountered a whole new set of problems. Floating around in the atmosphere, there are fungi and algae spores.

I graduated with a first class honours degree in history from Otago University in 1990. I worked as a researcher and writer for the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography until 1993. From 1995, I was employed by the Crown Forestry Rental Trust as a historian. Since 1999, I have worked as a contract historian on Treaty of Waitangi issues, writing and advising on many different areas. My report on the ‘Crown and Maori in the Northern Wairoa, 1840-1865’ was submitted to the Waitangi Tribunal’s inquiry into the Kaipara district. Acknowledgments I would like to thank the staff at the Waitangi Tribunal for overseeing this report and for their much-appreciated collegial assistance. In particular, Cathy Marr provided expert insight into Te Rohe Potae, as did Dr James Mitchell, Leanne Boulton and Dr Paul Husbands. This report has also benefitted from claimant knowledge shared at research hui, during my trips to the area, and at the oral traditions hui at Maniaroa Marae in Mokau in May 2010. Steven Oliver and Rose Swindells carried out some valuable research, while the translations of te reo Maori material are from Ariaan Gage-Dingle and Aaron Randall. Thanks also to Noel Harris and Craig Innes for providing some of the maps. Lauren Zamalis, Keir Wotherspoon and Ruth Thomas helped with copy-editing.

  • New Zealand Boar Lines
    History and Bloodlines 101 History and Bloodlines 101 By Kathy Petersen, Virginia KuneKunes New Zealand Boar Lines Te Whangi: The first Willowbank (WB) Te Whangi was registration number 189. His name was Mr. Magoo and he was a black boar with both wattles. He was purchased from J. Te Whangi, who lived around Waitomo for $400 in 1978. Mr. Magoo passed away in 1988. I have been unable to locate pictures of him for this article. Te Whangi is represented in New Zealand, the UK and a healthy number of boars here in the USA. Willowbank Te Kuiti: purchased from John Wilson who lived near Waitomo in 1978. Kelly, a magnificent boar, started this line. Kelly was NZ 189a. He was a cream with two wattles pictured below. Kelly sired the first Te Kuiti boar line However, in 1993, Tutaki Gary produced Te Kuiti V. I am not sure how the Tutaki line produced the Te Kuiti. I could find nothing futher on the Te Kuiti line since 1993. Tutaki line was produced from the Ru boar line. I do not see how Te Kuiti line could be present in the USA unless further evidence comes to light. Willowbank Ru: He is NZ 51. He was from the North Island from Ru Kotaha who lived near Dannevirke, but the kune was thought to have come from the Opotiki area. He was a Black and white boar with no wattles. The Ru lines were created by using Pirihini Bastion NZ 363 x Jacobs Sow NZ A20. The Ru lines are in New Zealand, the UK and here in the USA.
