Our Centennial Speaker Series is back! A proposed mining operation in the West Coast threatens tāiko Westland Petrels.
The proposed operation will involve 50 years of open cast mining in the Westland pretrels' only breeding ground above the Barrytown Flats near Punakaiki, 24/7 processing, a loadout facility, and trucking of heavy mineral concentrate to Westport, Greymouth or Timaru. For the rare tāiko, this is the wrong mine in the wrong place.
Join us on Zoom on Wednesday 31 May at 7:30pm to learn more about these fascinating birds and threats to their habitat, and the actions we can take to protect them.
