Forest & Bird is congratulating the Government on today’s announcement protecting pristine conservation land from the proposed opencast Te Kuha coal mine.
 

Due process is at risk, says Forest & Bird, in a proposal to build a hydro-electric scheme on conservation land.
 

Revelations from the latest leaked MPI report show yet another eco-certified fishery appears to have kept its ‘sustainable’ certification by hiding widespread fish-dumping and misleading customers. 

Forest & Bird welcomes Government moves to ban mines on public conservation land, but says that action needs to be urgent.
 

The fishing industry has serious questions to answer after a report from 2012 revealed alleged illegal fish dumping by hoki fishers was ignored by MPI fisheries managers, while the fishery continued to be certified internationally as sustainable.

Forest & Bird is calling for better planning to protect people and wildlife, following a new report on climate change adaptation.

For the first time, the Department of Conservation’s Natural Heritage budget (inflation adjusted) has increased beyond 08/09 baseline levels, says Forest & Bird.

Forest & Bird is applauding Beef and Lamb NZ for its new commitment to a carbon neutral industry by 2050.
