Tom Kay has a BSc inEnvironmental Science and an MSc in Ecology. He worked at Forest and Bird for more than six years, most recently as their freshwater advocate. He has also worked as a policy advisor at Kāhu Environmental and as a field team member at Zero Invasive Predators (ZIP).
In this talk, Tom will discuss the state of freshwater in NZ, some of the causes of degradation and pollution, and update us on current public policy responses. He will talk about the connection between the state of our rivers and wetlands and issues like flooding and climate change. We will delve into the lost rivers and wetlands of the local landscape, hear about how things are now and how we might do things differently in future to improve water quality and make our communities more resilient to future extreme weather events.
