title: From pharmacist to internationally-recognised belemnite researcher: Arthur Brian Challinor BSc, DSc (Waikato) (7 December 1930-18 January 2020) [Obituary]

authors: Nelson, Campbell S.

subjects: Obituaries

abstract: Following night school study at Seddon Memorial Technical College in Auckland, Brian Challinor qualified in 1953 as a trained pharmacist. For much of his working life he owned and operated a pharmacy business (Challinor Pharmacy) in Main Street, Huntly, where he loyally served the local community for ~30 years until his retirement in 1990 at age 60. However, alongside his pharmacy occupation, Brian was a man of many interests and talents. These included having an active sporting association with harrier running, becoming a qualified gliding pilot and an avid photographer, having a long-term interest in both geology and astronomy (including building two telescopes in his 20s), and becoming a dedicated Waikato west coast twitcher (bird watcher and counter). He was an avid reader of books and articles that supported all these hobby interests, and was an active member of the Waikato branches of the NZ Geological (now Geoscience) Society, the Hamilton Astronomical Society, and the NZ Ornithological Society.

title: Supporting people with intellectual disabilities with sexuality and relationships

authors: Frawley, Patsie

subjects: Social Sciences

abstract: Supporting people with intellectual disabilities to live their lives in the fullest sense includes supporting people to be sexual, have intimate relationships and express their sexuality and sexual identities. It has been four decades since Ann Craft's pioneering work on sexuality rights of people with intellectual disabilities began framing this understanding. She challenged the dominant myths and misconceptions that saw the sexual lives of people with intellectual disabilities overlooked, restricted or pathologised. Craft's work articulated a set of rights that had not been previously named for people with intellectual disabilities that included the right to be seen as an adult, to have relationships, to be safe from abuse, to learn about sexuality and to be able to live a self-determined sexual life that was not shaped by the views attitudes and decisions of others including staff. This ground-breaking work has endured through the Ann Craft Trust which continues to educate, advocate and do research to progress the sexuality rights of people with intellectual disabilities. This special issue is motivated by the need to continue to advocate for these rights to be realities in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities globally.

title: Kaitiakitanga: protecting New Zealand's native biodiversity

authors: Morad, Munir

subjects: geography

abstract: Species diversity is a very important component of a healthy ecosystem, and a necessary condition for long-term sustainable development. However, it is widely recognised that species extinction is on the increase in New Zealand, as biological diversity comes under pressure from landuse activity and environmental change.
