Many hands make light work - ka pai Alliance!
Mā tini mā mano
Ka rapa te whai
Many hands make light work
Unity is strength
Riki Parata (Hokonui Rūnanga Kaiārihi Taiao Environmental Lead) receiving 20 kilos of hinu from Alliance Group Limited.
By Libby Young
Alliance Group Limited (Alliance) has kindly donated an initial 20 kilos of hinu (beef fat) to our Hokonui Biodiversity project. This donation, along with others, will be used as bait in our traps as part of our pest control activities. It is actions like this that will help us to restore the native flora and hopefully reintroduce the South Island Robin to the Hokonui Hills.
This is not the first time the Hokonui Rūnanga Kaupapa Taiao has partnered with Alliance. Their support also extends into our freshwater mahi as well. As part of their commitment to protect the biodiversity of the Mataura Mātaitai (New Zealand’s first freshwater reserve), Alliance enabled us to undertake a Kanakana (Lamprey) Monitoring Programme in both 2021 and 2022.
As illustrated above, Riki Parata is literally struggling to carry the weight of Alliance’s generosity, we continue to be astonished by the support that local groups and industry have shown us.
