Port Hills fire in Canterbury - Ross Younger

Vote for Nature

This year’s election is critical. Nature is in crisis, and the increasing frequency and severity of climate-fuelled storms, floods, fires, and droughts, shows that we simply cannot afford to keep kicking the can down the road.

To protect the people and places we love, we need urgent climate action now – and leaders that will stand up for our future.
