We brought 2000kg of slime to Fonterra HQ to protest their drinking water pollution! New Zealand has too many cows, and they're causing a nitrate crisis in lakes, rivers, and drinking water. Take action NOW and help put an end to intensive dairy expansion: greenpeace.nz/nxdp87 #nzpol

While many people are winding down for the holidays, the Luxon Government has quietly put a “for sale” sign up on Aotearoa’s most precious land. #climatecrisis greenpeace.nz/t9p8n6

At 11pm on Friday night, under the cover of darkness, the Luxon Government made it easier for foreign corporations to buy and exploit New Zealand’s most ecologically and culturally sensitive land - including conservation land, lakebeds and wāhi tapu sites. 🧵

PRESS RELEASE: Three Greenpeace activists removed by police from Fonterra nitrate pollution protest during shareholder meeting www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre... #nzpol #toomanycows

Three Greenpeace activists were removed by police after protesting Fonterra’s shareholder meeting. The activists set up a nitrate contamination tent and dumped two tonnes of simulated “toxic” slime at Fonterra HQ, forcing shareholders to walk through it.

Greenpeace activists upset the Fonterra shareholders meeting. Read the story: www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

BREAKING: Fonterra’s head offices have been placed under quarantine by Greenpeace, as a metric tonne of slime is oozing out of the front of the building! This is ground zero for the nitrate emergency. #nzpol #freshwater #agribusiness #nitratecontamination

When there's no coordination, there's only bad options

The Government has unveiled two new bills to replace the RMA. Ministers are talking about decks and front doors - but the RMA is what protects land, air, water and wildlife from mining, dams and industrial farming. These reforms weaken environmental protections.🧵 #climatecrisis

Final day! Today is the last day to make a submission on the long term protection of the hoiho penguin. The Government has extended the emergency ban on set net fishing around Otago for another nine months. This will give breathing space to protect the endangered hoiho population. 1/2

The Luxon Govt continues to drive away offshore wind investors, as effectively as it drives NZers to leave the country. newsroom.co.nz/2025/12/12/o...

PRESS RELEASE The passing of the Fast-Track Approvals Amendment Bill makes an already damaging law even more dangerous for Aotearoa’s environment. #nzpol #climatecrisis www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

Deep sea mining companies are desperate to exploit minerals at the bottom of the Pacific ocean. To get their way, they’re making false claims about the economic and environmental benefits this destructive industry will bring.

Hoiho, the yellow eyed penguin, are a survivor - considered by some scientists to be the most ancient of all living penguin species. 🧵 1/7

PRESS RELEASE: The Government’s rewrite of the RMA allows companies to claim financial compensation when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment. #nzpol #climatecrisis www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

The RMA replacement bills include the fringe right-wing idea of 'regulatory takings', forcing councils - and therefore ratepayers - to compensate landowners for restrictions that impact their developments. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Overwhelming opposition to the Luxon government's Fast Track Amendment Bill - 95% of submissions opposed! #climatecrisis

The Luxon government's decision to reject stronger climate targets from the Climate Change Commission will cost New Zealand households dearly in the years to come. #climatecrisis www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The Government's announcement that it's rejecting all of the Climate Change Commission’s emissions target recommendations is morally bankrupt. #nzpol #climatecrisis

Hoiho, the yellow eyed penguin, is one of the rarest penguins in the world and found only in Aotearoa. But the northern population of hoiho is collapsing - by 80 percent since 2008. Use our easy online tool to make a submission to call for zero bycatch of endangered hoiho:

We're the “woke, riddled munchkins who want to fry eggs on solar panels”

Two years. One Government. A full-blown War on Nature. They’ve: • Legalised killing kiwi • Polluted our rivers by gutting freshwater rules • Raised fish catch limits • Reopened the door to oil drilling • Welcomed new coal mining like it’s the 1800s And so much more. Art by @yeehawtheboys

PRESS RELEASE: Greenpeace says the Luxon Government’s "war on nature" has been met with an unprecedented wave of resistance from tens of thousands of New Zealanders over the two years since the coalition took office. #nzpol #climatecrisis www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

This fossil-fuel obsessed government is driving up higher electricity costs, increasing energy insecurity and sabotaging our collective futures with climate emissions. #climatecrisis newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/26/g...

The first step to defending nature is to understand the war on nature. I've listed out the last two years of the Luxon Govt's war on nature here: www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

Hoggard is minister of animal welfare, where he has extended the farrow crate agony of pigs, minister of food safety, where he has weakened food safety regs, and assoc minister of enviro, where he allowed more freshwater pollution. Just a regular Federated Farmers guy. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Fossil fuel companies given privileged, insider access to confidential drafts of legislation during a two-year campaign to weaken oil and gas regulation and overturn the offshore exploration ban, RNZ has found. #climatecrisis www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

It seems that we just can’t escape the nuclear madness at the moment. Last week, US President Trump instructed the Pentagon to immediately start matching other nuclear weapon states in their testing of nuclear weapons, citing Russia and China. greenpeace.nz/5qtog8

The Luxon Government's reckless rampage is ramping up - make a submission now! The Government have just proposed making the Fast Track Act even worse - if passed these changes risk putting Aotearoa and its oceans at the mercy of foreign mining giants and corporate polluters.

After community consultation the Waikato Regional Council decided to ban bottom trawling along parts of the Coromandel coast. Now fishing industry lobby group Seafood NZ is going to appeal that decision. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

PRESS RELEASE: The new Regulatory Standards Act creates an unprecedented expectation that the Crown compensates corporations if environmental or public interest laws impact their property rights. #nzpol greenpeace.nz/u9h1gj

The Government is proposing changes to the Fast Track Act that would make it even more dangerous and undemocratic. Make a submission against this escalation to show this Government that New Zealanders will not accept this assault on our environment. #FastTrack #ClimateChange greenpeace.nz/95vrt7
