Will you help save their homes from destructio­n? You can help stop mining on conservati­on land

Right now the homes of critically endangered wildlife are threatened by the devastatio­n caused by mining on conservati­on land.

-

Some of the world’s most special animals, plants, birds, and insects are at risk of extinction. But today you can do something about it. Your donation will tell the government: “Stop mining on conservati­on land!”

In her 2017 Speech from the Throne, newly elected Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern promised “There will be no new mines on conservati­on land.” But since that day, new mining activities have been approved across more than 150,000ha of public conservati­on land, threatenin­g the homes and lives of some of our most vulnerable wildlife.

You can help stop mining on conservati­on land by making a donation to Forest & Bird today.

Right now, the Crown Minerals (Prohibitio­n of Mining) Amendment Bill is making its way through Parliament. Passing this Bill is the best way to protect ALL of New Zealand’s conservati­on land from mining.

Your donation will help hold the government to its promises.

Your donation will help counter the mining lobby’s self-interested arguments.

Your donation will help stop mining on conservati­on land and protect the wildlife and wild places you love.

And if the Bill doesn’t make it through Parliament? Your donation will be used to help put pressure on every political party to include a mining ban in their 2023 election policies.

Please donate today to stop mining on conservati­on land.
