STOP the War on Nature

Conservation area:

Why it matters

We're facing our biggest ever fight for Aotearoa New Zealand’s environment and we need your help to stop the Fast-track Approvals Bill.

This anti-democratic, anti-nature law will override the purposes of the Conservation Act, Reserves Act, and Wildlife Act, as well as the RMA and law governing the Exclusive Economic Zone. It also prevents the usual consultation required under those laws, so that people would no longer be able to have a say in their communities.

This is our chance to show the coalition Government that we cannot stand by and allow precious and endangered wildlife be condemned to extinction, watch native forests be destroyed, or let rivers, lakes and oceans be polluted.

Thank you for supporting the March for Nature

Thank you to all 20,000+ of you who were able to join chief executive Nicola Toki and the team, as well as supporters from other environmental groups across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, to March for Nature down Queen Street on Saturday 8 June 2024 in a peaceful protest against the Government’s Fast-track Approvals Bill and war on nature.
