WWF calls for the Government to accelerate action to phase-out fossil fuels, slash emissions, and restore nature. Statement from Dr Kayla Kingdon-Bebb, WWF-New Zealand CEO
As the country deals with the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle, we must collectively rise to the challenge of protecting our communities from future climate disasters. Nature-positive investment is the only way we can ‘build back better’.
WWF strongly welcomes the agreement of the text for a new global legally binding High Seas Treaty, creating a framework to conserve marine life and restrain harmful activities in two-thirds of the ocean.
WWF-New Zealand are pleased to have teamed up with former Ironman World Champion Sebastian Kienle to help instil a love of nature in the next generation.
WWF is working towards a world where people and nature live in harmony. And that means not just looking after nature, but people too. Because a lot of things that are bad for the planet are bad for people and vice versa.
People and nature thriving on the Hokianga Harbour
The Conservation and Education Fund is about enabling community groups to come up with their own solutions to creating harmony between people and nature. In the Hokianga, the Ngāi Tūpoto ki Motukaraka Trust are doing just that.
The Boulder Copper butterfly used to live across Canterbury, but due to habitat loss, its numbers have declined. It is now found only sparingly in a few locations and was missing from Christchurch. That is until a group of children decided to bring it back.
