Did you know some scientists believe there are missing continents beneath our oceans?

There's claims Portuguese millipedes are wreaking havoc in Wellington's Owhiro Bay - and should be declared a pest. The many-legged creatures have been invading homes in the small suburb at night. City Councillor Nureddin Abdurahman says he's heard the problem is spreading beyond Owhiro Bay to wider Wellington. He says if someone visits the nearby Red Rocks, millipedes could be taken into ecologically protected areas like Zealandia. "If it's impossible to eradicate then it needs to be contained."

Kākahi are a keystone species in lake and river ecosystems, keeping the water clean by filtering one litre of water every hour. These native mussels once blanketed lakebeds across Auckland – but recent surveys found an alarming decline and disappearance across many lakes. A team of scientists and divers have mounted a rescue mission for one of the last remaining kākahi populations, trying to keep the mussels safe from invasive fish through all the steps of their complicated – and fascinating – life cycle.

Jim Lynch is the founder and visionary behind the Wellington ecosanctuary Zealandia.He tells of the story and struggles behind the creation of Zealandia, and talks about conservation in the modern world - what works, and what doesn't. He is also a very strong advicate of the concept of "Large Conservation Zones" - a different (but surprisingly common sense) way to save New Zealands endangered species and ecosystems.This is an inspiring story that I hope you enjoy.0:00 Introduction10:30 Visionaries14:12 Cartooning Career25:10 Wellington Conservation History - Before Humans and After38:27 Comparison to Today42:41 Natural Wellington Project53:26 Extinction1:02:30 Zealandia Beginnings1:15:11 The Fence1:20:08 Playing God1:21:55 Eradication of Pests1:27:08 Re-Introduction of Species1:40:47 Large Conservation Zones2:00:19 10802:08:13 Final Questions

Nový Zéland je tak odlehlý od ostatních obydlených částí planety, že před lety zorganizoval virtuální kampaň za to, aby nechyběl na mapách světa. Díky odlehlosti se v ostrovní zemi vyvinulo obrovské množství unikátních přírodních druhů. S jejich ochranou a návratem do volné přírody už víc než čtvrt století pomáhá unikátní rezervace Zealandia.

The distinctive whistle of the native kaka parrot had all but disappeared from the capital by end of last century, as urban development and introduced predators decimated the population. Morning Report producer Emma Ricketts went to Karori's wildlife sanctury, Zealandia, to find out more.

Send us a Text Message.What an incredible collection! Gary and I visited their fantastic terrace house in Erskineville, where every wall is adorned with art. Tune in now to discover how they built their collection, the day jobs that support their passion, how they select each piece, and what they hope their legacy will be. It's a great conversation with two fascinating individuals—thank you, Gordon and Michael! 'The Elliott Eyes Collection (TEEC) of contemporary art is housed in a private Victorian terrace house in Erskineville, Sydney NSW.The collection of approximately 400 works (sculpture, painting and ceramics) focuses mainly on Australian and New Zealand art, but also includes work by German, Belgium, American, South African and English artists, all of which are on display. Four major outdoor sculptures extend the collection beyond the usual interior walls, tables, mantels and, in our case, even the floor of the house. The decision to open tEEC to public tours was prompted by a visit to Terry Stringer's sculpture park “Zealandia” north of Auckland and by our inclusion in Skadi Heckmueller's book, “Private: A Guide to Personal Art Collections in Australia and New Zealand” (Dott Publishing, 2015). It also follows the opening of the Lyon Housemusem and the Justin Art House Museum in Melbourne; both exceptional collections and buildings well worth a visit.It is also motivated by the realization that once works become part of a private collection they can easily be ‘lost' to public view. Sharing these works, and listening to other people's comments and responses adds immensely to the pleasure we are lucky to experience as we engage with and enjoy the collection on a daily basis.The wonderful experience provided by the recent trend of house museums, is that each venue is truly individual and unique; expressing the personal interests and character of the owners/collectors. Allen Weiss in "The Grain of the Clay" (Reaction Books,2016) has described collecting, or a collection, as an autobiographical statement. Unencumbered by the boundaries, rules and bureaucracy of public galleries, the house musem displays the passion of the collector – individualistic, subjective, imaginative and zany.It is important to say that we live permanently with our collection. We are not a museum or a gallery. Artworks are displayed and incorporated into the everyday spaces of our house, working around the normal aspects and tasks of a standard household. We find ourselves drying off in the shower, trying to avoid knocking over Jim Cooper's large ceramic flower and duck or, in quieter moments, spending endless hours trying to decipher just what is going on in Mark Whalon's mysterious and deliciously perverse paintings. Some works are functional – Michael Snape's security door - while others are more traditional, decorative pieces, acquired and admired simply because they are beautiful or significant works in contemporary (Australian) art history. While our collection is constantly growing, sometimes in divergent, unexpected directions, it's central focus is on the figure in the landscape. This theme is only loosely adhered to, so an outlier work of art can easily capture our attention and find it's way into the collection. Some works are ‘serious' (e.g. our obsession with the 1950s and 1960s paintings by James Gleeson) and others are just ‘fun' (e.g. Madeleine Child's ceramic popcorn).'

The head of Wellington's Zealandia Wildlife Sanctuary is concerned for native birds after a dead weasel was recently found in a trap inside the reserve. Chief executive Danielle Shanahan spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In world news this episode, it's World Environment Day – and that means – bring on the good dirt and soil. Plus, results are in from the world's largest election ever held, yes, we're talking about India. And, think you know your continents? Well, is Zealandia on your list? It should be as scientists map a newly discovered continent – hear our special report from “down under.” Also, feeling hungry? How about a handful of snails? They love them so much in Spain that thousands gather for a snail festival. And, finally, hear why some New Yorkers are getting scary with their laughs!

I'm a huge fan of Jon Ronson. I've been following his work for around 25 years now, and when I wrote a short piece here recently plugging his upcoming Wellington gig, I could never have believed I might get to actually talk with him. First of all, I couldn't believe my luck that he was coming to NZ. I was trying to work out how to afford a trip to Melbourne…Anyway, this podcast episode — my first ‘proper' podcast chat in a year, finds me rusty, but eager. And hoping from here to be able to do this a bit more often, and via this Substack medium (but you can still find the podcast in all the usual places like Spotify, Amazon, Apple, etc). We talked about his show that he's bringing to Wellington. His only NZ show, and his first time in the country. He told me he's got a day to look around and is eager to hit up one of the wildlife sanctuaries, such as Zealandia. We also talked about how he's knee-deep in a new book, his first proper book project in a decade. Recent years have seen a focus on podcasts, and audiobooks, his brilliant Things Fell Apart series is well worth your time. We talked about The Psychopath Test, the book he wrote over a decade ago, which is the basis for his live shows; we talked Trump (related), and his recent encounter seeing Bruce Springsteen, as well as archival stories about Randy Newman, Malcolm Gladwell, and, um, Robbie Williams…Look, I just can't believe this happened. There's a handful of times in my life, after all that putting up with people calling me an arsehole for not liking their favourite band, where I can say at least I got to speak with absolute heroes of mine. Sonny Rollins. Suzanne Vega. Lionel Richie. George Benson. And now Jon Ronson. It makes it all worthwhile really.Here we are just chatting. He seems really nice. I seem — correctly — fanboy/ish and way-too-eager. But I believe in sharing. I believe in Publish and Be Damned. And I don't really think I exactly fucked this up. In fact, I feel like we were getting on really well…am I allowed to say that?Anyway, can't wait for the show.

I recently visited New Zealand, and I had a great chance to see some of their unique birds and travel the country a little. And I came away from the trip with a few impressions about their birds and the environment that I wanted to share. So slightly different, more personal account than the usual, but hopefully will still be of some interests and entertainment.

In parts of Aotearoa you can see rocks left over from when Zealandia and Gondwana separated around 100 to 60 million years ago. Zealandia - Te Riu-a-Maui - is right underneath us, and was the last continent to be discovered. It's now the first to be mapped all the way out to its watery edges. 95 per cent of Zealandia is underwater. In 2017, GNS scientists outlined the continent and have just finished filling in the blanks. Dr Nick Mortimer is a geologist at the Dunedin GNS office and the lead author of a new study on North Zealandia. He speaks to Jesse.

Halloween time means metaphysical mysteries of all sorts. Sunken continents like Zealandia are being confirmed. Curses of old seem to have affected major events in history. Ever heard about the exhumation of the body in Tamerlane's tomb during World War II? Why did 10 days suddenly disappear from the calendar in 1582? Are dragonflies both apex predators and humanity's secret helpers? With strange historical accounts, Weirder News, a live Q&A, and more, this Friday Night Live from Edge of Wonder will unravel the truth.

On this week's show Chris and Aaron talk about: the first flying car, Zealandia: the eighth continent, Black Sabbath ballet, Dumb Money, and Blonde Bombshells.

Books That Make You Explore Antarctica, Facing Down Dangers and—A Lost 8th Continent? We read books from the safety of our home, maybe our back porch, batting away a few summer mosquitos or, in the fall, curled up before the fireplace. It's amazing how books transport us to certain dangerous places—real and imaginary—and unveil realms most of us can only dream about. In his new release, Mighty Bad Land, geologist Bruce Luyendyk takes us to the last wilderness on Earth: Antarctica. In addition, he explores evidence for Zealandia, the “lost 8th continent” split off from Antarctica long ago and sunk below the waves. Unlike most recent books on Antarctica, the reader finds themselves entangled with Bruce Luyendyk's team, experiencing firsthand the perils, difficulties, relationships, failures, audacity, cowardice and success endemic to scientific research in such an unforgiving place. A distinguished Professor Emeritus from UC Santa Barbara, Bruce was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2016, summit 1070 in Antarctica, Mount Luyendyk, was named after him by the US Board on Geographic Names. His research in marine geophysics included exploring deep-sea black smokers (I.E., hydrothermal vents) using the deep submersible ALVIN off western Mexico. For this, he and colleagues shared the Newcomb Cleveland Prize of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Find out more on Books That Make You.

Claire Concannon meets the latest addition to the Zealandia ecosanctuary family - toitoi, or common bully. Zealandia CEO Dr Danielle Shanahan explains why these little fish will be an important part of the freshwater ecosystem, and what their ambitious 100 year plans are to restore the mouri or lifeforce of the entire Kaiwharawhara catchment.

More than 100 toitoi, or common bullies, have been reintroduced to Zealandia Ecosanctuary in Wellington as part of an ambitious vision to restore the mauri of the freshwater catchment. 

Te Riu-a-Maui - or Zealandia - is the world's eighth continent and is right underneath us. It is the world's youngest, smallest, thinnest and most submerged continent, with about 94 per cent of it lying underwater. Geologist with GNS Science, Dr Nick Mortimer, has been at the forefront of discoveries about the hidden continent. He has recently been awarded a $100,000 James Cook Research Fellowship from Royal Society Te Aparangi to continue his work on Zealandia's geological make-up and ancestry. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society Te Aparangi in 2017, and in 2020 received a Science New Zealand Individual Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr Mortimer says it has taken hundreds of years for the science behind the discovery of the continent to mature - and there is still much to explain and communicate about Zealandia.

Birdwatching sounds like an idyllic hobby. But how do you actually get started? We're delving into that with our expert today. Dr Danielle Shanahan, Chief Executive at Zealandia.

*To recreate the effect of this sound installation, we strongly recommend listening through headphones.* The Well-Being Cities sound installation is an hour-long interactive tour across 31 countries, starting with the furthest from Buenos Aires in Seoul, with each destination one step closer until we arrive at our host city with the final recording. On one side of the installation space, you will hear an original field recording from that city, documenting a moment in its life. On the other side of the space, you will hear a reimagined composition built from that original recording, with each artist inspired by the source material and the question of what constitutes well-being in a city for them. The pieces change in sync, so the field recording and reimagined composition change to the next destination at precisely the same time.  By physically moving around the space, the listener is able to create his or her own sound mix by proximity to either set of speakers, focusing on the field recording, the composition, and how the two blend with and interact with one another. We invite the listener to participate by immersing themselves in the sound and exploring how 31 artists have reinterpreted the sounds of 31 cities.  The recordings and compositions you will hear are listed in the timecode below.

"I started from the idea that the organization of the city and its meeting spaces has a profound impact on society. So I collected the already existing examples of 'hostile architecture' taking them to the extreme, I imagined the worst possible scenario, where no type of aggregation is allowed if not linked to consumption. I took negativity to the extreme (the fight against poverty is won by physically eliminating the poor) and then, using a narrative device, a frame, I placed the 'time of terror' in the past, a time very different from the present presented as harmonious and inclusive.  "The selected field recording is as calm, relaxing, sweet and welcoming as you can think of, a stark contrast - also in terms of sound - to the first part of the podcast that I imagine set in a large hall. Outside is harmony, nature and happiness. A beating heart represents the beating heart of the city, of society." Zealandia reimagined by Cristina Marras.

Josh and M review two recent papers concerning Aotearoa's white supremacist/nationalist group, Action Zealandia, which look at why violent rhetoric online does not necessarily lead to violent acts offline. — Josh is @monkeyfluids and M is @conspiracism on Twitter You can also contact us at: podcastconspiracy@gmail.com Why not support The Podcaster's Guide to the Conspiracy by donating to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastersguidetotheconspiracy or Podbean crowdfunding? http://www.podbean.com/patron/crowdfund/profile/id/muv5b-79

Researchers at Auckland University have published two papers looking at the nationalist extremist group Action Zealandia. Senior Lecturer Chris Wilson and Stuff reporter James Halpin worked on the research, after Halpin infiltrated the group for 18 months between 2019 and 2021. They found the group has a public image which isn't maintained behind closed doors, and a paradox where threatening language and ideology hasn't been physically acted upon. Wilson spoke to Susie Ferguson.

In this episode of Executive with a Cause, host Tammy Ven Dange chats with Jim Lynch, founder of Zealandia, an eco-sanctuary in Wellington, New Zealand. From a pipe-dream in the nineties to creating what's heralded as the world's first ‘mainland island eco-sanctuary,' Jim takes us through the journey of turning his conservation passion into a financially sustainable park that has inspired others with his 500-year plan.  Jim recognised that conservation projects often lived and died with their founder. Therefore, from the beginning, Zealandia's plan was for diverse income streams to support this long-term vision, including raising revenue and awareness through their in-person sanctuary experiences. Now expanding this conservation model, Jim hopes to apply the restoration approach to Puketahā in the Wellington region, and beyond. Thank you for listening to the Executive with a Cause podcast.

Increasingly popular as software becomes more accessible, this ‘doubling up' of the IT function can pose a data and governance risk to your organisation. Shadow IT systems also cause problems for the actual IT departments, who may be unable to assist with issues for software they haven't been involved in.

Aotearoa is continuously inching closer to building Puketaha, a mainland kakapo sanctuary near Wellington.  The project was initially proposed by Zealandia founder Jim Lynch a few years ago, with plans to build a large fence around Wainuiomata. The project is continuing to grow in likelihood and feasibility, so Liam spoke to project leader and greater Wellington regional councillor Thomas Nash about what steps have recently taken place.

A brave kākā has been seen dropping a wooden missile on a falcon to scare the deadly native predator away from its flock.  Victoria University of Wellington biology professor Kevin Burns witnessed the remarkable event in Wellington's wildlife sanctuary Zealandia.   He spoke to Susie Ferguson.
