Good news for change. On Sunday, a pod of more than 30 pilot whales became stranded on Ruakākā Beach near Whangārei in northern New Zealand. Hundreds of residents joined forces with conservationists to save the pod. The rescue effort was spearheaded by the local Māori group, Patuharakeke. Remarkably, most of the pilot whales were refloated and swam out to sea, but three adults and one calf died.
Patuharakeke remained on the beach through the night to make sure none of the rescued whales were re-stranded.
The Department of Conservation (DOC), which is responsible with managing stranded marine rescues, called the rescue effort “incredible, with everyone coming together for the whales”.
