Kokako stars at the Beehive

On 10 June I represented the Kaharoa Kokako Trust at the 2011 Green Ribbon Awards dinner. As the supreme winner of last year's award, we were invited to attend and to give a presentation.
This dinner is a great occasion, held at the Beehive in Wellington, and hosted by the Minister for the Environment. It honours the work done by people all around New Zealand who are commited to protecting or enhancing the environment.

I was honoured to be the after-dinner guest speaker, talking about how the Green Ribbon Award has benefited us.

It was a great opportunity thank all the people and organisations who have helped us along the way.

It also gave me a chance to highlight the importance of all work that is done to protect endangered species in New Zealand.
