❗Destroying the Denniston Plateau epitomises the worst of the new Fast-track law – cutting environmental protections and public input just to make it easier to dig up more of the dirtiest fossil fuel and destroy a biodiversity hotspot. 🦎🦋🐌 This public conservation land is

Today is International Day of Biodiversity 🌏 and in Aotearoa New Zealand, we’re living in one of the most wildly biodiverse places on Earth. 🦜 80% of our native species exist nowhere else. 🐦 We’re home to more seabird species than any other country. 🌿 We are blessed with

Budget 2025 is a disaster for our environment. Conservation investment is MIA while 75% of native species face extinction. The Govt is gambling with $133B in natural assets and our economy. This is environmental neglect, not leadership. We demand better. forestandbird.org.nz/resources/no-n…
