  • Bay Conservation Alliance and Learning Through Discovery
    2019 1 2 Introduction from the Chair Working in the environment, helping to restore our native biodiversity can be very rewarding, but also hard work. Aotearoa New Zealand has a very interesting collection of natural attributes. We are isolated, situated in latitudes with a benign climate, we have a very varied topography and unique catalogue on native wildlife. However these attributes also make us a very attractive home for all manner of alien species, both animal and plant, chief of course of which is Homo sapiens – humans. Along with ‘us’ we have a huge number of introduced alien species, some of which we brought here deliberately (stoats to get rid of rabbits!!), others that have just hitched a ride. However all of them find New Zealand, particularly the Bay of Plenty and especially the coastal zone, an extremely attractive place to live, reproduce and destroy our native biodiversity. So our job, as kaitiaki of our native biodiversity (wildlife) is to fight back against these alien invaders and give our native wildlife a chance. We cannot change the system overnight, but we can start NOW. Climate Change No report can be complete nowadays without a mention of climate change and its possible impacts. 2017 and 2018 have certainly been very wet years with around 50% more than our average annual rainfall, however early 2019 was very dry and we are on track for well below average rainfall this year. We had no serious cyclones in 2019 and certainly no high tide to compete with the one on January 5th 2018. However sea level rise is obviously a significant concern.
