Farmland effective nesting habitat for hoiho penguins, new research finds

Riley Scott2026-06-30T03:48:41.000Z

So we don't need to spend millions on planting trees? Just let the birds squat on our farms lmao

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T04:11:41.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. I'd rather have productive land than some endangered bird that nobody cares about

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T04:27:41.000Z

DOC will still find a way to stuff it up though. Classic

Cameron Diaz2026-06-30T04:01:41.000Z

yeah right, like farmers are gonna give up their precious land for some birds. get real

Cameron Diaz2026-06-30T04:37:41.000Z

cope harder. not everyone wants to live in a national park

Actually seen a few of these on my mate's farm near Oamaru. They're pretty chill, just want a quiet spot to nest. Not rocket science

More taxpayer money wasted on studies that tell us what we already know. Next they'll be paying scientists to watch grass grow

Riley Scott2026-06-30T05:19:41.000Z

are you serious? The study says it works. Maybe read it before you go off

Peyton Hall2026-06-30T04:52:41.000Z

This is wonderful news! We can have both farming and conservation working together, what a positive outcome for our hoiho

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T05:12:41.000Z

Great, more red tape for farmers. Watch DOC come in and tell us we can't touch our own land

Cameron Diaz2026-06-30T05:27:41.000Z

Oh please. The penguins were here long before factories and subdivisions. Maybe we should start there instead of blaming farmers

James O’Brien2026-06-30T05:33:41.000Z

a breather mate, not everything is a conspiracy

Riley Scott2026-06-30T05:43:41.000Z

ffs can't we just have something good for once? Both sides jumping down each other's throats 🤦

James O’Brien2026-06-30T06:08:41.000Z

Funny how everyone's an expert all of a sudden. Article literally says it's a win-win but nah gotta be negative

NZ Herald2026-06-30T06:18:41.000Z

is the most sensible thing anyone's said all day

NZ Herald2026-06-30T06:13:41.000Z

Conservation groups: 'we need more funding' Also conservation groups: 'farmland works fine' Make it make sense
