Beautiful Bay in May

Win an Epic Family Adventure Prize Pack!

We’ve had great support from some nature focused businesses across Hawke’s Bay.  To enter simply take photos of you enjoying Beautiful Bay in May activities, share on Facebook and tag in Biodiversity Hawke’s Bay including #bayinmay. There are 11 awesome prizes in this impressive giveaway that will help you get out and about in Hawke’s Bay, long after May is over! Terms & conditions below.

 

Why is Biodiversity Important?

Hawke’s Bay is absolutely beautiful, and also a unique part of New Zealand. It has a wide variety of living things, habitats and natural features that are often found nowhere else.

  • 75% of native vegetation lost to land clearance
  • Only 2% of local wetlands remain
  • Several native plants, birds, lizards, frogs, freshwater fish have been lost

It is unacceptable that we are losing so many native species and ecosystems locally. Loss of this biodiversity (the huge variety and connections of life on Earth) is a massive concern locally, nationally, and globally as it is vital to our survival and the survival of our planet.
