E poho kererū ana mātou i a koe.
We're all so proud of you.
Show tautoko with this kīwaha. It literally translates as saying that we all have the puffed up chests of a kererū thanks to you.

The world's biggest wildlife crossing is set to open in December to give animals a safer way to cross the 10 lane 101 Freeway in California, where the highway has split the habitat of mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, grey foxes and mule deer
The crossing is being covered with thousands of cubic metres of soil and more than 50 native plant species, transforming what could have been a purely functional bridge into a restored wildlife habitat.
Once complete, the crossing will not only become the largest on Earth but also reconnect a critical ecological corridor while helping reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions along a freeway used by more than 300,000 drivers every day.

Kiwi health heroes by William D Adams (Non Fiction - 610.93) Kiwis have a long history of great achievements. Everyone knows we were the first to split the atom and give women the right to vote, but did you know that we've achieved a lot of things in health and medicine, too? For a start, it was a Timaru inventor who created the first ever disposable syringe. And a doctor from West Otago made a world-first discovery about chronic fatigue syndrome. How about the amazing Kiwi who introduced air-based search-and-rescue missions after witnessing a disaster? And let's not forget the clever minds behind the high-tech medical imaging that helps to save lives every day. There have been so many amazing achievements by our very own KIWI HEALTH HEROES over the last hundred years. Forge your own path through this fascinating book and discover them all! | ||
