The speaker for our November monthly talk will be Dr Graeme Elliott and his talk is titled "Albatrosses on the way out? The decline of wandering albatrosses on Antipodes and the Auckland Islands".
Forest & Bird members have gathered this morning at Mt Richmond Forest Park between Nelson and Blenheim, the third stop on a national rally for conservation land under threat of being mined for coal, gold, and other minerals.
The battle for Bird of the Year is stretching from the highest mountaintops down to the oceans, as the alpine-dwelling pīwauwau and fush-munching kororā compete for the number one spot.
This morning, Forest & Bird supporters converged on the Denniston Plateau – in the second in a rolling series of protests – calling for the Labour Government to fulfil its 2017 promise to end mining on conservation land.
A last-minute change of plans led to the exciting discovery of a previously unknown “marine animal forest” off Wellington’s west coast. We need to better protect these underappreciated and vulnerable ecosystems.
