Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Well, guys, if you enjoyed part 1 of my epic trip across to New Zealand then get yourself a cold one, sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy the second part of the story. If you didn't catch part 1 earlier this week then make sure you go back and listen to that first. We pick up the journey at the start of day 3, and head straight to the iconic Waihau bay. This stunning area was made famous by Taika Waititi's film ‘Boy', and oh man was it special; what a way to kick off the second half of the trip. After some delicious home made ice cream at the Pacific Coast Macadamia Store we cracked on down the coast. I bumped into a fella called Giles who was undertaking a similar bikepacking trip with his son, and we cracked open a few Gizzy Golds and yarned into the evening.  Heading back down the coast towards Gisborne we took in more stunning views, and surveyed the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle that struck the region back in 2023. Still in the cleanup stages, it's clear to see how the disaster decimated the land and the sea, but the way the Māori people have rallied around each other and is really heartening, and left us all feeling pretty inspired.  What better way to wrap up a trip through some of the hottest surfing on the planet than with a quick lesson? I was taken out into the water with legendary local surfer, Holly Quinn, who showed me how to master the waves and helped me get up. We sealed off the adventure by visiting Sunshine brewery; the home of the iconic Gizzy Gold which I'd become so familiar with over the week. Honestly, guys, if you ever get the chance to head out to the North West coast of the North Island and explore Gisborne and the surrounding area - jump on it; you won't regret it.  I hope you really enjoyed listening to these two eps; I had an amazing time and I'm really grateful to Tairāwhiti Gisborne - the Gisborne Tourism Board - for making it happen.

Ngutukākā, or kākābeak, is a popular garden plant in Aotearoa. But in the wild, it is now rarer than kākāpō, with only about 100 individual plants surviving on steep, inaccessible cliffs. The East Coast is one of its remaining strongholds and the Tairāwhiti Ngutukākā Trust is on a mission to bring the taonga back. Veronika Meduna joins the inaugural Tairāwhiti Ngutukākā Festival to find out more about the community's efforts to turn State Highway 35 into a Crimson Highway by rewilding this iconic native.

The Redclyffe substation near Napier flooded during Cyclone Gabrielle and turning it off turned off the power for much of Hawkes Bay and Tairāwhiti. Transpower has fixed it for now, but has faced a big decision: should it rebuild it where it is now, next to a stream? Or start again on higher ground? The choice tells us a lot about how to think about our climate future. Bernard Hickey talks about that decision with Transpower's executive general manager grid delivery, Mark Ryall.

Gisborne leaders and stakeholders are sick of being told they're resilient, and are instead looking towards a better future. About 100 people gathered in Awapuni today for the Tairāwhiti Tomorrow Together Summit, including iwi, business leaders and government representatives. They laid out their expectations for a future beyond Cyclone Gabrielle. Reporter Kate Green was there.

"Gazing across the ravishing seascape, Young Nick's Head and Mahia Peninsula loomed large on the horizon, while directly beneath us, the photogenic allure of Wainui Beach and Okitu Bush casts you under its spell. It's immediately self-evident why a beach house at Wainui is the epitome of aspirational real estate. What a sweet spot -no wonder the sun wants to be the first to see it. A year on from the damage and despair of a natural disaster, Gisborne and the Tairāwhiti district's welcome mat is unmistakeably rolled out. Don't be fooled by the enduring misnomer that the region's roads are still too tricky to navigate or that visitors aren't welcome. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gizzy and her surrounds is good to go and would love to see you." Read Mike's full article here. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It could take years before many growers on the East Coast are back to where they were before Cyclone Gabrielle. Almost a year since the deluge devastated growing areas across Hawke's Bay, Tairāwhiti, Northland, Bay of Plenty, Wairarapa and northern Manawatū, Horticulture New Zealand is calling for a renewed effort for support. It's asking the Government to consider land use changes, overseas investment and incentives to help get them back on their feet. Hawkes Bay Apple Grower Brydon Nisbet speaks to Jimmy Ellingham.

Residents in parts of Tairāwhiti fear a future on their land is in jeopardy, with silt dust making the place unliveable. Erosion has long been an issue in the Waiapu Valley, north of Gisborne. However, with years of severe weather battering the region, silt dust is being whipped up in the wind, forcing people to shut themselves inside, or flee. Lauren Crimp has the story.

Wairoa's Civil Defence controller says some of the slips caused by the weekend's heavy rain are worse than those after Cyclone Gabrielle.  Communities throughout northern Hawke's Bay and Te Tairāwhiti again had to deal with flooding, closed and damaged roads, power outages, and rivers breaching their banks.  State Highway 2 just south of Wairoa is closed due to a large slip that came down early on Sunday.  One person died and another was seriously injured after hitting the landslide. Waka Kotahi says a geotechnical assessment shows more work is needed before the road can safely reopen.  Wairoa civil defence controller Juanita Savage spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

A slow-moving band of rain is soaking Taranaki, northern Tairāwhiti and the Ruahine Range. New Plymouth had 20 mm of rain in the last six hours.  MetService has issued a heavy rain watch for Taranaki - due to be lifted this morning - and heavy rain warnings for northern Tairāwhiti and the Ruahine Ranges -  set to remain until early tomorrow morning.  It's due to a low-pressure system to the east of the North Island, which is pulling in warm and wet sub-tropical air.  MetService meteorologist Jessie Owen spoke to Corin Dann.

Depuis une vingtaine d'années, la Nouvelle-Zélande s'est imposée comme l'un des leaders mondiaux dans la revente de crédits CO2. À l'autre bout du monde, des sociétés comme Ikea, Shell ou Boeing s'offrent donc un « droit à polluer » en rachetant le carbone absorbé par les forêts néo-zélandaises, dédiées aux compensations carbone. Pour la plupart monocultures, elles sont constituées uniquement de pins exotiques, qui absorbent plus rapidement le CO2 mais résistent peu aux tempêtes et cyclones australes. À chaque catastrophe naturelle, des milliers d'arbres s'échouent sur les plages, les fermes et les habitations, affectant plusieurs régions à travers le pays. (Rediffusion)De notre correspondant en Nouvelle-Zélande,« Ici, on élève de l'air frais ! », s'amuse Warrick James. Située au milieu des Alpes du Sud, la plus grande chaîne de montagne en Nouvelle-Zélande, la ferme de Warrick et sa femme Cece a récemment changé de visage.Il y a quelques années, ils ont troqué la moitié de leur bétail pour se lancer dans les compensations carbone. Sur plus de 500 hectares, le couple a planté une forêt de pins dédiée à la revente de crédits CO2 : « avec les hauts et les bas dans le secteur de l'élevage, au moins le carbone nous a donné une certaine stabilité ».Car avec les réductions d'émissions de CO2 imposées aux grandes entreprises à travers le monde, le prix du carbone s'envole. Chaque année, les forêts de Warrick absorbent 50 tonnes de CO2 par hectare. Des tonnes, reconverties en unités et rachetées une trentaine d'euros par le système d'échange de droits d'émissions. « J'ai toujours cru que je n'étais qu'un fermier du sud avec ses vaches et ses moutons, je n'aurais jamais pensé que j'allais un jour avoir des arbres pour absorber du carbone », plaisante Warrick. Et si le couple garde le sourire, c'est parce que l'année dernière, ils ont empoché près de 800 000 euros grâce aux compensations carbone.Une reconversion qui séduit de plus en plus les éleveurs de bétail. En 2022, 50 000 hectares de fermes d'élevage ont été reconvertis en forêts de compensations carbone.Au nord du pays, sur la côte Est, Gisborne et sa région appelée en māori, Tairāwhiti. Ici, les fermes de compensations carbone ont eu un impact considérable sur la population. Récemment marqué par les cyclones Hale et Gabrielle durant l'été austral, ce district est constamment affecté par la chute d'arbres provenant de ces forêts. « On en a marre de ce chaos ! », affirment Bridget et son mari Mike.Ce couple d'horticulteurs a perdu la quasi-totalité de leur ferme de kiwis, dévastée par des tonnes de troncs d'arbres. « En cinq ans, nous avons été affectés trois fois par ces fermes de carbone. Les arbres se sont échoués sur nos terres et notre maison était encerclée par les pins. Et tous ces arbres viennent des forêts de compensations carbone situées 25 kilomètres plus haut. »Un désastre économique, mais aussi écologiqueDans ce décor cataclysmique, où la vase et les arbres recouvrent les rivières et les fermes locales, une voix s'élève, celle de Hera Ngata Gibson. Cette habitante de Tolaga Bay, a vu en l'espace d'une génération, sa région être totalement dévastée par l'industrie du carbone.Il y a quelques mois, elle a lancé une pétition pour qu'une enquête indépendante fasse la lumière sur les effets néfastes de cette activité dans la région. Une initiative rejetée plusieurs fois par le ministre néo-zélandais de l'Industrie forestière. « Ce que j'ai réalisé avec cette expérience, c'est que le gouvernement et cette industrie n'ont aucune idée de ce qui est important pour nos populations dans ce genre de communauté. L'environnement est ce nous avons de plus cher et cela a affecté toute notre manière de vivre. On se sent submergé par ces débris de bois qu'il y a partout autour de nous… à chaque grande marée, les arbres finissent de nouveau sur les plages. Puis une fois en mer, ils détruisent nos fonds marins. Pour cette petite communauté, au mode de vie très modeste, la mer est l'une de nos ressources principales pour manger, mais aujourd'hui, c'est devenu impossible. »Car le problème pour cette région de Nouvelle-Zélande, est surtout lié à sa géologie. La côte est de l'île du Nord possède le taux d'érosion le plus élevé au monde. Des sols fragiles et non adaptés à ces monocultures de pins exotiques. Un aspect sur lequel certaines compagnies forestières ont préféré fermer les yeux, face au prix attractif de ces terres.Pour Renée Raroa, elle aussi originaire de cette région, le futur des compensations carbone passe par un retour aux arbres endémiques de Nouvelle-Zélande. Une problématique qu'elle est allée porter jusqu'au siège des Nations unies, à New-York. Au cours des derniers mois, elle a développé, avec l'aide d'autres organisations, un modèle durable de forêt dédiée au carbone. « Ces forêts de monocultures dans cette région ne sont plus viables. Cependant, ces forêts de pins offrent pour le moment la meilleure rentabilité pour les compensations carbone. Alors, sur plus de 900 hectares, nous avons mis en place un nouveau modèle qui observe les données d'une forêt native qui sert à régénérer ces terres mais aussi à offrir des compensations carbones. Avec ces données qui prouvent que l'on peut avoir une activité économique tout en respectant l'environnement, on veut démontrer qu'il est possible de changer cette industrie pour se tourner vers un système de compensation carbone plus durable. »Aujourd'hui, 90% des fermes de compensation carbone en Nouvelle-Zélande sont composées de pins exotiques.Une tendance dont certaines communautés souhaitent changer. Quoi qu'il en soit, la Nouvelle-Zélande espère atteindre 2 millions d'hectares de forêts consacrées aux compensations carbone dans les cinq prochaines années.

Leaderbrand's chief executive gives an update on how Hawke's Bay and Tairāwhiti growers are faring seven months on from Cyclone Gabrielle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By Aaron Smale: On the slow destruction and devastating impact of the pine industry on Tairāwhiti.

Here's some good news, we've finally got some new rules around forestry slash that might actually make a difference to places like Tairāwhiti and Hawke's Bay, which have been absolutely pounded by logs in Cyclone Gabrielle. The rules are kicking in very soon- just 4 weeks' time. And they will require forestry owners to remove their slash if it's over a certain size, and it's not particularly large. Anything with a diameter of more than 10 centimetres and a length of more than 2 meters has gotta go. It can't be left behind to wash down and smash up bridges and houses. Removing it will be expensive though; there is no doubt about that. It will be so expensive that it will make it too expensive to plant some of that steep land. Which is great, it's what we want, because that land shouldn't be planted in pine anyway. I cry absolutely no tears for the forestry owners who are whingeing about this today, because they have not done their bit for their communities.  You take a look at that photo of Waikare beach halfway between Napier and Wairoa which popped up a couple of days ago. That beach is covered in logs. None of the forestry guys have cleaned it up, it's been that way since February 14. The logs destroyed the DoC campsite, and none of the forestry guys have cleaned it up. These guys have made huge bucks off New Zealand- and broken our stuff as they made their money. Now, I'm not naïve. I know that these rules will probably create as many problems as they solve. But we needed to start somewhere. And here's another bonus, just the threat of these rules has already stopped the sale of land for forestry. How good is that? It's shocked that industry so badly that the sales have come to a shuddering halt.  Which is good, because fewer pines means less slash for us to clean up.

This week Country Life meets a couple who are still inspired by the rugged beauty of Tairāwhiti to produce honey and art from their bees despite having lost many of their hives to Cyclone Gabrielle, and they also chat to a pair of Karamea dairy farmers who are putting their remote and beautiful farm up for sale lock, stock and barrel.

Cate and Mike King of Pauariki Honey lost a quarter of their hives after Cyclone Gabrielle hit Tairāwhiti in February. They also faced a poor season of manuka flowering. But the raw beauty of the region and its people keep them going and provide inspiration for Cate's batik-style art which in turn is helped along by the bees.

En 2022, 50 000 hectares de fermes d'élevage ont été reconvertis en forêts de compensations carbone. Au nord du pays, sur la côte Est, Gisborne et sa région appelée en māori, Tairāwhiti. Ici, les fermes de compensations carbone ont eu un impact considérable sur la population. Récemment marqué par les cyclones Hale et Gabrielle durant l'été austral, ce district est constamment affecté par la chute d'arbres provenant de ces forêts. « On en a marre de ce chaos ! », affirment Bridget et son mari Mike.Ce couple d'horticulteurs a perdu la quasi-totalité de leur ferme de kiwis, dévastée par des tonnes de troncs d'arbres. « En cinq ans, nous avons été affectés trois fois par ces fermes de carbone. Les arbres se sont échoués sur nos terres et notre maison était encerclée par les pins. Et tous ces arbres viennent des forêts de compensations carbone situées 25 kilomètres plus haut. »Un désastre économique mais aussi écologiqueDans ce décor cataclysmique, où la vase et les arbres recouvrent les rivières et les fermes locales, une voix s'élève, celle de Hera Ngata Gibson. Cette habitante de Tolaga Bay, a vu en l'espace d'une génération, sa région être totalement dévastée par l'industrie du carbone.Il y a quelques mois, elle a lancé une pétition pour qu'une enquête indépendante fasse la lumière sur les effets néfastes de cette activité dans la région. Une initiative rejetée plusieurs fois par le ministre néo-zélandais de l'Industrie forestière. « Ce que j'ai réalisé avec cette expérience, c'est que le gouvernement et cette industrie n'ont aucune idée de ce qui est important pour nos populations dans ce genre de communauté. L'environnement est ce nous avons de plus cher et cela a affecté toute notre manière de vivre. On se sent submergé par ces débris de bois qu'il y a partout autour de nous… à chaque grande marée, les arbres finissent de nouveau sur les plages. Puis une fois en mer, ils détruisent nos fonds marins. Pour cette petite communauté, au mode de vie très modeste, la mer est l'une de nos ressources principales pour manger, mais aujourd'hui, c'est devenu impossible. » Car le problème pour cette région de Nouvelle-Zélande, est surtout lié à sa géologie. La côte est de l'île du Nord possède le taux d'érosion le plus élevé au monde. Des sols fragiles et non adaptés à ces monocultures de pins exotiques. Un aspect sur lequel certaines compagnies forestières ont préféré fermer les yeux, face au prix attractif de ces terres. Pour Renée Raroa, elle aussi originaire de cette région, le futur des compensations carbone passe par un retour aux arbres endémiques de Nouvelle-Zélande. Une problématique qu'elle est allée porter jusqu'au siège des Nations unies, à New-York. Au cours des derniers mois, elle a développé avec l'aide d'autres organisations, un modèle durable de forêt dédiée au carbone. « Ces forêts de monocultures dans cette région ne sont plus viables. Cependant, ces forêts de pins offrent pour le moment la meilleure rentabilité pour les compensations carbone. Alors, sur plus de 900 hectares, nous avons mis en place un nouveau modèle qui observe les données d'une forêt native qui sert à régénérer ces terres mais aussi à offrir des compensations carbones. Avec ces données qui prouvent que l'on peut avoir une activité économique tout en respectant l'environnement, on veut démontrer qu'il est possible de changer cette industrie pour se tourner vers un système de compensation carbone plus durable. » Aujourd'hui, 90% des fermes de compensation carbone en Nouvelle-Zélande sont composées de pins exotiques.Une tendance dont certaines communautés souhaitent changer. Quoiqu'il en soit, la Nouvelle-Zélande espère atteindre 2 millions d'hectares de forêts consacrées aux compensations carbone dans les cinq prochaines années.

Whanau in cyclone devastated areas are now turning their attention towards Matariki in a move to help the community reflect on the past and look forward to the future. Marae and community leaders are hoping to raise the wairua of whanau in Hawke's Bay and Tairāwhiti by coming together and celebrating the Māori new year. Ashleigh McCaull has this report.

Foodbanks in flood-stricken areas have been prioritised for $6 million of extra government funding to meet strong demand, particularly in communities affected by extreme weather events. That means extra money for foodbanks in regions including Auckland, Tairāwhiti and Hawke's Bay. In Auckland, the charity, Vinnies says demand for its foodbank is rising, as it deals with a long tail of need. Vinnies General Manager for Tāmaki Makaurau Delphina Soti spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

On the outskirts of Gisborne, Te karaka residents are being urged to evacuate before it get too dark, and the river gets too high. The rain warning in Tairawhiti has been raised to red. Earlier this afternoon, Gisborne Council issued a warning that the Waipaoa river was heading toward seven and half metres high, with more rain on the way. The small settlement was hit hard in Cyclone Gabrielle. Gisborne district mayor, Rehette Stoltz, spoke to Lisa Owen.

Tairāwhiti Civil Defence has declared a state of emergency for the region. It says people in low lying areas shouldn't wait for official instruction and should leave if they feel unsafe. Meanwhile, in Hawke's Bay it's also bucketing down. Reporter Lauren Crimp is there. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6329892772112

From the back country to the coast, and the flats and rolling hills in between, you won't find many places or people untouched by the claws of cyclones Hale and Gabrielle which ravaged Tairāwhiti at the start of the year.

A group of six Tairāwhiti iwi is promising to house 100 cyclone-hit families by winter. Toitū Tairawhiti Housing has been providing affordable homes for the region and eastern Bay of Plenty since November 2020. But demand has soared since Cyclones Hale and Gabrielle this year. Our reporter Kate Green has the story.

The impact of forestry on indigenous peoples has been discussed at a UN meeting, after slash was strewn across Tairāwhiti's land and beaches during Cyclone Gabrielle. Māori leaders were among dozens of global communities speaking at the UN Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York, in the hope of influencing the government to revive stalled policies for indigenous rights.  Ashleigh McCaull reports.

The body of a popular 13-year-old girl is found with her throat slashed in a bathroom stall at school. Students are in and out of the bathroom all day, but none of them admit to seeing anything strange. Then the school handyman is arrested. But did he do it? Years later, never before seen evidence points to another suspect. One with a bizarre story and an even stranger motive.  Read journalist Ruth Margalit's New York Times article about this case, “Who killed Tair Rada," here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/05/magazine/shadow-of-truth-tair-rada.html#:~:text=Ruth%20Margalit%20is,of%20New%20YorkGet all the crime in half the time!

December 6, 2006. Golan Heights, Israel. On December 6, 2006, the body of 13-year-old student, Tair Rada, was found bloodied and slumped in a bathroom stall at Nofey Golan High School in Golan Heights, Israel. Roman Zadorov, a 29-year-old immigrant from post-Soviet Moldova and custodian at the school confessed to the murder and was later convicted for Tair Rada's murder and perverting the course of justice. Zadorov's conviction came into question when a lack of physical evidence connecting him to the crime, doubts over his confession, and the reenactment of the murder were deemed to be contradictory.All caught up on Gen Why episodes?
