NEW ZEALAND EDGE
VISUAL STORIES:
Today we are proud to bring you a major update to the New Zealand Edge
website experience. 'Imagery' is a series of picture galleries beginning
to tell the visual stories of the New Zealand Edge a project that we have
been maturing and sharpening over 2002. The result: 15 galleries
articulating in 300 photographs, icons, text and images, different aspects
of the nzedge metaphor, evocative and provocative in equal measure. Big
cheers to contributing photographers.

EDGE ECOLOGY:
Terra Nature Fund is an innovative project working to make the world aware
of Aotearoa's extraordinary and internationally significant ecology. Terra
Nature Fund operates in the US as a tax-exempt organisation, allowing New
Zealanders filing US tax returns the chance to make tax deductible
donations - tapping into
the potential of the global network of New Zealanders in a fresh way. As
the pohutukawas begin to bloom downunder to herald the season this is an
opportunity to connect, engage with, and help preserve, the whenua that
makes Aotearoa unique in the world. See http://www.terranature.org/.
We're delighted to
bring you the new visual experience that the galleries add to the nzedge
website as we open our iris on edge sights and symbols. Look forward to
2003 for accelerated developments as the edge metaphor, place and people
gain in reach and currency.
