Joint press release from Forest & Bird Youth, Forest & Bird, Greenpeace Aotearoa, 350 Aotearoa, Generation Zero, WWF-New Zealand, Coal Action Network Aotearoa, School Strike 4 Climate NZ, and Parents for Climate Aotearoa.

Forest & Bird is urging government to continue collaborative reforms to build a better future for people and planet, with clean water, healthy landscapes, and climate change resilience.   

Forest & Bird is calling for the Government to focus on delivering clean and healthy freshwater for New Zealand in spite of pressure from some in the agriculture industry.
 

Four of New Zealand’s leading environmental organisations are urging the Government to defend native species and human health by setting a nitrate pollution limit under one milligram per litre for waterways.

Forest & Bird welcomes the release of the draft purpose of the Natural and Built Environment Act (NBA) but wants a clearer hierarchy to put preserving nature first.  

Anne Denny’s outstanding work for more than two decades for the Forest & Bird’s North Shore branch and her leading role in the restoration of Tuff Crater has been recognised with the organisation’s Ti Kōuka Award.

Forest & Bird’s Southland branch has been honoured with the organisation’s Branch Award in recognition of its outstanding restoration and advocacy work over many years to protect nature in one of New Zealand’s most extensive and diverse regions.
