Jobs for Nature: Supporting Employment Through Environment Projects
This 1.1 billion NZD initiative will focus on the swift redeployment of a portion of the labour market who are facing job insecurity into new temporary nature-based jobs that support regional environmental projects. Projects will include boosting predator control efforts, restoring wetlands, planting, and improving tracks, huts and other recreational and visitor assets on public conservation land. Included in this is:
– A 2.5 million NZD boost for South Westland to enable local businesses to retain approximately 50 staff while they do different work until their businesses are able to function again.
– A 162 million NZD investment in improving the health of New Zealand’s waterways, including restoring mini wetlands, stabilising river banks, removing sediment and providing for fish passage.
– 2.5 million NZD to Te Arawa Lakes Trust to see wetland restoration, catfish and aquatic weed control, pest eradication, monitoring water takes and discharges, and beehive management.
