Yesterday was World Wetlands Day, and well along we bring you some bad news Forest & Bird have found that the majority of wetlands on private land around New Zealand remain unprotected.

A series of aerial images from around the country showed how freshwater wetlands on private land have completely or partially disappeared from 2001-2016.

With more than ninety percent of New Zealand’s original wetlands already destroyed, what’s left is incredibly important.

The Wire's Producer Louis talked with Annabeth Cohen, a member of Forest & Bird & an advocate for Freshwater.

The trades & vocational training are to receive a boost from the government, placing them at the center stage in schools.

More than 85,000 students will talk to around 4000 employers at events to promote vocational education in schools.

Furthermore, the Government is funding more than 300 schools with $3000 each to run trades-based events to give both students and teachers the opportunity to connect with and explore industry-specific careers. Most will take place in terms one and two this year.

It comes as the Government unveils a $12 billion infrastructure programme to build and upgrade roads, rail, schools, and hospitals, creating thousands of new jobs up and down the country.
