Forest & Bird: Today’s announcement on the future of West Coast stewardship land is a massive missed opportunity to protect some of New Zealand’s most precious ecosystems and wildlife.
Forest & Bird welcomes the Government’s decision not to pursue some of its proposed amendments to the Fast-track Approvals Act. This decision addresses some critical environmental and procedural concerns – but major risks remain.
Forest & Bird is deeply concerned by the Environment Select Committee’s report on the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Bill, which ignores overwhelming public opposition and expert advice.
This strategy drives our efforts to protect and restore te taiao over the next five years. We want to inspire and empower New Zealanders to speak, stand and act for our indigenous nature.
