Tackling the country’s smallest introduced rodent is essential to protect nature. By Chelsea McGaw

Over the past week, Bushy Park Tarapuruhi in Whanganui has welcomed tiny new residents from Taranaki Maunga, thanks to the generosity of local hapū Puketapu, Pukerangiora and Ngāti Tawhirikura, all of the iwi Te Atiawa. 

An Environment Court decision against a new proposed West Coast coal mine is a massive win for the climate and biodiversity, says Forest & Bird. 

Concerned Whangaroa hapū members and Forest & Bird representatives have gathered at two locations in Northland to speak out against the threat of mining in the area. 
  

A new report backs up Forest & Bird’s view that Cyclone Gabrielle has illustrated the impact of encroaching on floodplains and riverbeds, deforesting our hillsides, and not protecting our wetlands.
