Forest & Bird, Greenpeace, Communities Against Fast Track (CAFT), Coromandel Watchdog, WWF-New Zealand, and Kiwis Against Seabed Mining have announced a ‘March for Nature’ on June
Topic: In 2019, a fire devastated Teapot Valley’s indigenous forest, in an area owned by Tasman Pine Forests. In 2021, work began on restoration, with funding through the One Billion Trees and Jobs for Nature programmes.
Forest & Bird told Parliament’s Environment Committee that the Fast-track Approvals Bill should be withdrawn, when the Society appeared before select committee members today.
Despite years of effort and intense research, many of our most iconic forest fauna species, such as kakapo and tuatara, remain effectively marooned on small offshore islands where a disease outbreak or pest invasion could mean their end.
On Thursday March 28 Forest & Bird lodged an application for judicial review of an agreement between the Director General of Conservation and the Fiordland Wapiti Foundation.
