Environmental Threats and Community Resistance
What should we do when the world is spinning too fast? Should we make more motorways to cut three seconds off a trip from wherever to wherever? Should we limit and undermine the Te Tiriti rights of tangata whenua? Should we shut people out of local decision-making? Should we remove protection from freshwater and mine the hell out of the Peninsula?
This story is written to be read with imagination. You can fill in the gaps, expand the characters, and add thoughts, feelings and actions. This story is a framework for you to elaborate on, add to and own.
It is common to hear people expressing their love for animals, but not many carry the passion and dedication to care for them as deeply as Annemieke Kregting does. For many years, Annemieke ran the Bird Rescue in Kūaotunu, and it is no surprise to hear “Yes, I’ve taken an injured bird to Annemieke before” in our community.
I’ve been living in London since 2008, most recently in the north-east, not far from Stratford where the Summer Olympics were held in 2012.
