Protecting our native plants, animals and wild places, on land and in our oceans. Help us to help nature.
West Coast
You are here:
On the West Coast Forest & Bird is lobbying against the extension of coal mining into the pristine Upper Waimangaroa catchment/Happy Valley, which is prime habitat for kiwi and native Powelliphanta giant snails.
We are also campaigning to protect the Mokihinui River and its surrounding forests, and the species such as blue duck and kiwi that live there, from a proposed hydro dam.
Forest & Bird also advocates for pest control to help protect the West Coast’s native forests and the birds & wildlife that live there.
