Behind the march is a broad coalition of environmental and
community groups.
On Saturday, June 8, at 1pm, we will March for Nature in a
peaceful protest against this Government’s reckless attacks on
environmental protection.
Register here now if you want updates and/or you're keen to get
involved in promotion or help on the day.
The Fast-track Approvals Bill is at the heart of this Government's
systematic war on nature, which includes an attack on
environmental protections critical to preserving fresh water,
forests, oceans, and wildlife. It will put Aotearoa on a fast
track to environmental destruction.
This anti-democratic Bill concentrates power in the hands of three
Ministers and allows them to run roughshod over the few
environmental protections we have in place for our threatened
wildlife and landscapes - while ignoring the concerns of local
communities and tangata whenua. It undermines our democracy and te
Tiriti o Waitangi.
It is wide open to corruption and lacks any semblance of
environmental protection while removing existing protections.
