Conservative Week

In ESOL, we had to make a blog post about New Zealand Conservation Week. We have to explain what Conservative Week is and explain why it is (or isn't important). We also have to list 3 things about how we can help serve our plants, animals, and the environment.

Conservation Week/Te Wiki Tiaki Ao Tūroa is about encouraging people to help conserve nature. This year we celebrate the 50 years of Conservation Week and it happens from 14 - 22 September 2019. Conservation week was originally launched in 1969 by The New Zealand Scout Association. Every year, the Department of Conservation(DOC) works with the community across New Zealand to spread the conservation message.

Unfortunately, our native animals and plants are threatened at risk. Conservation week helps us to bring everyone together to help to create change. This is important to our society because if we don't help to protect our nature, there's a chance that we can't save it at all.

As apart of young New Zealanders, we need to do as much as we can to save our environment for a better future. One way to get involved during the conservation week is to plant a tree on our own backyard. Another way to help during this event is to volunteer to clean in the community. Lastly, we could help by using the 3 r's Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to prevent landfill space. Creating change can be big or small, but if we all help each other, we can make a big difference.
