New Zealand lost close to 140,000 hectares of forest between 2001 and 2014 according to World Forest Watch. The bulk of that loss was made up of forestry plantations being harvested and not replanted - but by no means all. An estimated 10,0000 hectares of native and regenerating forest was lost between 1996 and 2014. David Hall is the author of Our Forest Future: Towards a National Forestry Future for New Zealand. The paper, commissioned by Pure Advantage, advocates planting 1.3 million hectares in forest to off-set our agricultural emissions.

Cyclone Winston was the worst to hit the islands in living memory and killed 44 people. It flattened thousands of homes and affected more than a third of the population in some way. With staple food crops and water systems damaged there are still concerns for food security and diseases like typhoid and dengue. So how is Fiji going to rebuild and what further help does it need? RNZ International's Sally Round travelled to Fiji to find out how people are coping and the country's plans for the future.
