We've been in heated arguments all week discussing Te Manu Rongonui o te Tau - the 2021 Bird of the Year competition. Every year, the competition is organised and promoted by Te Reo o Te Taiao Forest & Bird, an independent conservation organisation championing the voice of the natural environment since 1923. Breakfast Show host Jamie Green asked a bunch of University of Otago students if they thought the Pekapeka-tou-roa (Long-tailed bat) should be included, and also asked Forest & Bird Regional Manager and Spokesperson Lissy Fehnker-Heather about its inclusion. What do you think? |
