“The RMA was designed to protect our air and water from contamination, and our forests, wildlife and coastlines from degradation. That protection has just been well and truly ripped to shreds. These new laws allow companies to cause more pollution and environmental degradation." Gen Toop

Mike Smith, climate activist will be a guest speaker at the March for Nature this Saturday. 📍 Albert Park, Auckland 🗓️ Saturday 19th September, 1pm marchfornature.nz #NZpol #MarchForNature
“When governments weaken environmental protections, override Māori rights and shut communities out of decision-making, they attack both nature and democracy. We march because Papatūānuku is not property to be exploited without limit. She is an ancestor and a living system with her own mana and mauri. Protecting her requires constitutional change founded on Te Tiriti, tikanga Māori, human rights and genuine democratic accountability.”

The Government has once again allowed agribusiness to rewrite the rules so that they can continue polluting New Zealand's lakes, rivers and drinking water. Enough is enough. Join us this Saturday to stand up for fresh water at the march for nature - 1pm September 19th, Albert Park, Auckland. #nzpol

🚨 Luxon's Government just this morning has doubled down on its plans to exploit and degrade public conservation land. This morning it has released a revised draft of the Conservation Amendment Bill (CAB) that keeps the plan to change to the very PURPOSE of New Zealand’s conservation law. 1/7

We're in a nitrate emergency and a climate crisis. But Aussie company Victorian Hydrogen is doubling down on the damage. We're drawing a line in the sand, to tell Victorian Hydrogen to keep their polluting coal-powered fertiliser factory out of NZ. Add your name now: greenpeace.nz/coalfertilis...

Time to clean up politics. More money than ever is pouring into political parties. $25 million this election cycle - two elections ago it was just $5 million. Much of this money is linked to corporations seeking to undermine environmental protection laws. This flood of money threatens democracy.

Today, for World Nature Conservation Day, we recreated one of Aotearoa's most iconic environmental protests. In 1997, Native Forest Action activist Pat McNamara was photographed suspended high in the canopy during a five-month occupation to stop the logging of ancient West Coast forests. 1/3

The coalition Govt has continued with its all-out war on nature, threatening to open up public land to commercial exploitation and make it easier to sell off. So we're taking a stand. Join an event near you to show your resistance! Check out this post for more, or head to binthebill.nz
Newspaper-style post with bold headline "GOVERNMENT WAGES WAR ON NATURE!". The post calls out government attacks on nature, in particular the Conservation Amendment Bill, and promotes upcoming action to resist the Government's anti-nature policies. These include a national day of action, on August 15th, and a March for Nature in Auckland on September 19th.

Polling shows that 78% of people want bottom trawling banned on the South Pacific High Seas. It's time the Government listened and banned trawling on seamounts and stop issuing High Seas permits.

The Tasman Viking is now permitted to head out to the South Pacific High Seas to trawl. It's just been issued a High Seas fishing permit. Two years ago it pulled up coral in the Tasman Sea on Lord Howe Rise. Now it's free to do it again.

But our fight doesn't end today. We need to send a direct, undeniable message to Jared Novelly, the newly confirmed incoming US Ambassador. As an oil billionaire and Republican donor, he is looking to our region to secure these minerals—and we need to stand united to tell him NO.

The pressure from Washington is real. The USA has been clear that DOUBLING our defence spending in this year’s budget still isn’t enough for them. And just days after the announcement that NZ will spend $2.6 billion on US military helicopters, Donald Trump has resumed airstrikes on Iran 1/3

Luxon is trying to open the door to selling off public conservation land. The forests, mountain peaks, wetlands and wild places could be sold to mining corporations and billionaires. Once they’re mined, logged or sold off, we can’t get them back. ✍🏼 Sign today! greenpeace.nz/ours-notmines

“The economic contribution of mining generally is consistently overplayed.” The Government's fast-track to mining for 'critical' minerals isn't going to create longterm benefits. Golden age or golden goose? Mining claims challenged: buff.ly/kLDdbRs

This is a public health crisis. Our water testing in Southland this weekend found that the Lumsden town water supply was at 6.14 mg/L of nitrate, above levels of nitrate contamination associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and bowel cancer. #nzpol
