Arrc Wildlife Trust - Tauranga South

Long Term Goals:

• Our community upholds an environmentally sustainable ethic as a valuable asset and actively strives to reduce our environmental impact
• Conservation of our natural heritage is a broad community goal
• All animals are respected and treated humanely
• Responsible pet ownership is a minimum standard ie. Owned animals have their welfare needs met as well as their impact on our natural environment managed eg. Dogs attacking birds, cats desexed and not present in native bush
• Education of our children about environmental sustainability, conservation, animal welfare and responsible pet ownership is part of all school’s curriculums and our children understand and value the importance of conserving our natural heritage and take pride in it
• Recognition of our senior citizens’ need to interact with animals and the need to have them as companions for their enrichment is enabled and supported
• Organisations participating in the areas of environmental sustainability, conservation and animal welfare work collaboratively and co-operatively to create and apply solutions for problems in these areas
• Other communities benefit from our actions as we pioneer a way forward, helping to provide them with tools to achieve similar goals
