If we have a theme running throughout our teaching, the kids latch onto it better. It helps them to see the value of what they’re learning in the classroom. Bill Lonsdale, Kaikoura High School.

Hutton’s Shearwater Charitable Trust – Mortlock McCormack Law Newsletter – September 2010

Mortlock McCormack Law (MML) worked alongside Paul McGahan, Geoff Harrow and Lindsay Rowe from HSCT, three fantastically driven individuals dedicated to saving the endangered Hutton’s shearwater. These birds have formed a key part in New Zealand history being part of the mahinga kai (food basket) for a number of Maori generations. Once prolific in New Zealand, they are now reduced to only two wild remaining colonies and remain under constant threat of extinction.
