Waipuna-ā-rangi encourages us to reflect about climate change, and what we can do today to lessen the problem.

Waitā surveys our vast oceans, Te Moana-nui-o-Kiwa (the Pacific Ocean) and Te Tai-o-Rehua (the Tasman Sea). The variety of life in these waters is so diverse that he finds he is still discovering different species of marine plants, whāngote (mammals), manu (birds) and ika (fish) – even after all of this time. Biodiversity is essential to our world. Our actions need to support it, and even better still, enhance it. Waitā encourages us to respect our coasts and oceans, and treat their inhabitants like the taonga (treasures) they really are.

*Our question*

What NZ marine species (plant or animal) do you most treasure? Dolphin.

She encourages us to listen, and to learn from them as well.
