While the people demand protection, NZ remains the ONLY nation bottom trawling the South Pacific high seas - blocking progress. New polling data shows: 78% want a ban on bottom trawling in the South Pacific high seas 79% want an ocean sanctuary in the same region The proof is in the polling.

Embarrassing. New Zealand is pushing to allow for more coral destruction on the high seas, out of step with other countries who are backing greater ocean protection.

We fixed it! Dirty dairy is vandalising New Zealand's rivers, contaminating them with nitrate from fertiliser runoff and sucking them dry through irrigation. All of this is so that they can feed the oversized dairy herd. (And yes, we know that salmon aren't native 😉)

The Luxon government's announcement it will build a LNG import terminal is a dirty, dumb and expensive decision that will leave New Zealanders subsidising more climate pollution through higher electricity bills. #nzpol

More proof people power WORKS. For over a decade, iwi, communities, and ocean protectors stood against seabed mining. This week, the Fast Track expert panel rejected it. A MAJOR WIN for the moana.

PRESS RELEASE: The Luxon government is proposing to make it even easier to kill kiwi under its planned replacement of the Resource Management Act. #nzpol www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

What if polluters could demand a payout just for being told to stop polluting? That’s what the Government is planning in its rewrite of the RMA. New Zealanders should never have to pay companies to stop polluting drinking water, cutting down forests killing wildlife.

PRESS RELEASE Our take on the news that NZ is in talks with the US on a critical minerals deal: greenpeace.nz/oop89d

The Luxon Government’s RMA reform and Natural Environment Bill will make it easier for companies kill kiwi and other protected wildlife. Make your submission against this kiwi-killing plan before Friday, 13 February. #climatecrisis #biodiversity greenpeace.nz/z4au0v

The Government is planning to get rid of our main environmental law, the Resource Management Act (RMA) and replace it with new laws which will favour big business over nature.

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...

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

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.
