David Hall - Planting for Our Future
BODY:
New Zealand lost close to 140,000 hectares of forest between 2001 and 2014 according to World Forest Watch. The bulk of that loss was made up of forestry plantations being harvested and not replanted - but by no means all. An estimated 10,0000 hectares of native and regenerating forest was lost between 1996 and 2014. David Hall is the author of Our Forest Future: Towards a National Forestry Future for New Zealand. The paper, commissioned by Pure Advantage, advocates planting 1.3 million hectares in forest to off-set our agricultural emissions.

Insight: Fiji after Winston - Weathering the Storm
BODY:
Sally Round reports from Fiji on the efforts to rebuild people's lives after the devastating impact of Cyclone Winston.
EXTENDED BODY:
Mohammed Nadim doesn't like to move far from his shattered home these days.
Where a neat, brightly painted house once stood, there is now a jumble of debris and salvaged bits and pieces.
The young father of two says it hurts to leave the place.
Mohammed Nadim uses the word "hurt" a lot as he relates his story outside the tent he and his wife are living in as they try to rebuild their lives.
"I am trying my best," he said. "I'm really hurted inside. I can't say much about it because it was a really nice house. How many years I was trying to get something for my family and in just one second, everything gone."
Two months after Cyclone Winston hit Fiji with devastating force, fixing up even just temporary shelter remains a priority for many people.
Homes and schools were destroyed and 44 people were killed in the February storm. In the aftermath of the wide-scale destruction 63 villages have been earmarked for relocation.
This month, after another deluge of rain affecting the cyclone-ravaged areas in the north of Viti Levu, disaster authorities put out a call for thousands more tents and tarpaulins.
People in poor settlements like Mr Nadim's north of Lautoka have been trying to rebuild as best they can with debris rescued from the surrounding sugar cane fields.
Even mangled nails are salvaged.
But the homes are leaky and crowded and not helping people's tension, stress and exhaustion in the aftermath of the cyclone.
"There's a lot of stress, because we are just living in one small house at the back. All of the family. Eleven of us in that small house," said Elisapeci Biau. "It's very hard when the rain comes. The house got all wet and we have no place to sleep. We feel very exhausted."
As Fiji moves from an official State of Natural Disaster to the rehabilitation stage, attention is turning to rebuilding in a more permanent fashion.
Thousands of people are living in squatter settlements or shanty towns on the edge of urban areas.
People move there from rural areas for jobs and their children's education.
"My government's number one priority is to rebuild Fiji and to build back better - better than before, stronger than before," said Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama as he announced a new housing scheme earlier this month.
"Public infrastructure and housing built to proper standards to withstand cyclones, and to save us the money and the misery Winston has caused us."
Under the NZ$50 million scheme, people who suffered damage to their homes will be able to apply for up to NZ$5000 for building materials and a more stringent code will be enforced.
"To the extent that we can control it, every new home - and certainly public housing - will be built to these new standards. But the reality is that the intensity of Cyclone Winston has caused unprecedented damage to our homes and it could take years to repair or rebuild new homes for everyone and make the necessary repairs," he said.
Mr Bainimarama also flagged changes to the insurance industry which he said was in dire need of reform.
The private sector is also floating ideas for the rebuild.
Nadi-based architect John Grey has teamed up with the NGO Caritas to build a simple, cheap but strong model home based on traditional Fijian living which could be rolled out across the country.
"The house is to reflect a basic rural dwelling, whereby all the functions of the home are based on the floor," he said.
The house would be easily built with basic tools and readily available materials at an affordable price of about NZ$7000.
"What we are trying to do here is consider the current social structure that the Fijian village exists in, where there are certain people doing certain functions within the village administratively," he said.
He said the plan is to take it one step further and have village leaders supervise and sign off on the construction.
Mr Grey said the idea would help overcome unwritten laws which do not require traditional villages to build to a code.
Back in the Lautoka settlement, Mohammed Nadim is dreaming up a new plan for himself.
As a carpenter and welder he has the skills to rebuild but he says he is lacking the energy, money and the materials to get on with it.
"I've got a plan. It's just a hurricane-proof house. I want to build a kind of house where both sides are safe, from the water, from the wind," he said smiling.

This year's Auckland Writers Festival sees Australian slam poet champ Omar Musa face off with one of our best, Hip Hop hero King Kapisi . The two will meet in an a capella match-up , trading rhymes for an hour in front of a live audience.
For King Kapisi, it's a chance to change some minds and earn respect from a different kind of audience.
"I'm looking forward to when poetry people can listen and go 'Damn, those rappers are pretty cool'.
Omar Musa might be more familiar with both the format and with performing his lyrics without the aid of backing music.
The Malaysian-Australian writer has two books of poetry to his credit and in 2014 published his debut novel. He has also released three Hip Hop albums.
Meanwhile, King Kapisi is cagey but confident ahead of the match up.
I don't think I'm "ready" ready. But I'm up for the challenge!
King Kapisi and Omar Musa appear at the Auckland Writers Festival on 13 May.

The Easter Rising 24–29 April 1916
In 1916 the United Kingdom came under attack from within. Irish nationalist rebels, allied with Germany, seized control of Dublin to proclaim an Irish Republic. Their first victim was an Irishman. Their action - violent, daring, impossibly romantic - would change the majority of Irish public opinion radically towards demands for full independence and push Northern Ireland's Unionists further towards partition. This was Britain's war within the war. One hundred years on, historian Heather Jones reassesses the armed struggle that came to be known as The Easter Rising.

Māori Innovation - Adrienne Whitewood
BODY:
Adrienne Whitewood grew up in a house where everyone in her whanau was connected to textiles or fashion. Dad was a button sewer, nan was a seamstress and her grandfather was drycleaner. Now in her twenties, Adrienne has set up her self-titled fashion label, she runs a boutique store in Rotorua, and has garnered recognition and awards for her designs. Te Ahi Kaa visits her at her store.
EXTENDED BODY:
Te Ahi Kaa continues a series about innovation this week with young Māori fashion designer, Adrienne Whitewood (Rongowhakaata).
There were many signs that Adrienne Whitewood would work in the fashion industry.
Her grandfather worked as a dry cleaner, her grandmother was a seamstress, her dad sewed buttons on jeans and her mum was his boss.
Her whole whanau seemed to be involved in textiles and sewing.
Raised in Rotorua, but with whakapapa links to Rongowhakaata in Manutuke on the East Coast, Adrienne's earliest memory of fashion was of the bold matching clothes that her nan would make from patterns cut out from rubbish bags.
“I've lived here in Rotorua all my life, fashion design and sewing since I was eight-years-old. My grandmother taught me how to sew and it's been a bit of a gift for me really.”
In 2009, Adrienne graduated from The Auckland University of Technology with a Degree in Fashion design.
She also studied whakairo (carving) at Waiariki Institute of Technology and tikanga Māori at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
Adrienne says she merges fashion and with indigenous inspired elements.
“Through nga mahi whakairo and tikanga Māori that I learned at the Wānanga.... all those things have built me up to be the designer that I am and understanding in terms of the Māori world view.
“Our practises, our tikanga, our kawa, I find our culture so beautiful and I just want to share that with everyone, in everything that I do.”
In 2010 she debuted her first collection - Kimihia He Ngaro (searching for the unseen) which was inspired by Māori artist Ngataiharuru Taepa. Adrienne used laser embossing, fabric manipulation and the colours she used were based on the blackness of paua meat.
Te Aho Tapu is a collection that she entered into the 2011 Miromoda Fashion Awards show, and a year later in 2012 she took out the Cult Couture Supreme Award at the Southside Arts Festival in Manukau.
In a relatively short time the accolades and awards have followed, she was even one of three Māori designers to donate a design piece to the Rotorua Museum.
Adrienne is pretty busy these days. While a friend helps share the shifts at Ahu, she fields online orders there, there is still a good number of walk-in sales at her Rotorua store.
Adrienne's most recent collection includes hooded long coats, called high peaks inspired by the Tongariro Crossing.
