Show your support for no new mines on conservation land

In 2017, the new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern promised through the Speech from the Throne that there would be no new mines on conservation land. This promise remains unfulfilled. 

Five years later, the Crown Minerals (Prohibition of Mining) Amendment Bill has been drawn from the ballot box. This bill would prevent new mining permits being granted on conservation land. It would also prevent new coal mining permits from being granted on any land in New Zealand after 1 January 2025. 

Join us in calling on PM Chris Hipkins to support the Bill to end new mines on conservation land. These places deserve protection, not destruction!

Dear...

I’m writing to ask you to support the Crown Minerals (Prohibition of Mining) Amendment Bill in its first reading at Parliament. Conservation land and ecosystems are vital for biodiversity and the climate. Mining destroys these areas, in many cases permanently. Ending new coal permits from 2025 would also be an important step towards a safe climate.
