Welcome to the Midnight Collective Broadsheet 169
Actively supporting NZ’s endangered wetland birds
We are so pleased with our
ducklings that we have turned our video over to them this year. But what a year – Will it ever turn round for the better?
As we put this down our
neighbours in Australia are bracing for their hottest day ever and it's only
mid-December. Out of control fires have been raging across the continent for
weeks now, with emergency services pleading with the Government to take climate
change seriously, but no, their powers-that-be are holding fast to the title of
the dopiest deniers on the planet.
Meanwhile, 1200km to the
east, where we are starting to take it seriously, our early summer is pretty much
normal so far. Wind, thunderstorms, washouts and lots of rain for our wetlands
and our ducklings. So plenty of lush green growth but loads of swimming going
on too with the schools now out and the kids running amuck- Though watch out.
That Australian smoke and brimstone is heading this way.
So what can you do?
Well, have a good Christmas
for a start, beginning with these fotos from the best little Christmas display
in the world! Which is just down the road from here.
Then come the new year,
keep working and expanding your reserves, wetlands and wildlife sanctuaries,
right across the planet.
So Mere Kirihimete to you all
as our hearts go out to all those caught up in the volcanic tragedy on Whakaari
(White Island).
Here's hoping it wont be retitled - The Last Christmas- in 2020
