Forest & Bird is ramping up the next phase of its fight for nature and democracy, against the most extreme attack on nature Aotearoa New Zealand has seen in decades. We have now sent a submission to Parliament’s Petitions Committee (thanks to all 4,397 of you who signed the Show Us Your List petition! 💚 ). We’re asking that Parliament require the National-led Coalition Government to release the final list of projects the Government intends to add to its Fast-track Approvals Bill, so that MPs can properly consider the mines and other environmentally destructive projects they will be asked to fast track. At the moment, the Government plans to ambush Parliament with the list of projects in the final stages of considering the bill – after Parliament’s Environment Committee has finished scrutinising the proposed legislation. We also know, from the Ministry for the Environment | Manatū mō te Taiao, that the Government’s plan is not to release details about the projects until after MPs have voted and the bill becomes law. Nature is at breaking point, and this anti-democratic law would give three ministers sweeping powers to approve just about any development they want, without proper scrutiny and no matter how damaging. It takes New Zealand down the wrong track, and as our Chief Executive Nicola Toki told the 20,000 Kiwis who turned out to the March for Nature: “We will fight for what we love... together we will not tolerate precious and endangered wildlife being condemned to extinction.” Watch: https://lnkd.in/g6-sP-pr Read our submission to Parliament's Petitions Committee: https://lnkd.in/gBXqJpMP

The long-simmering conflicts in and around eastern DRC's Virunga National Park have deep roots, and no simple solution. However, as the park approaches its 100th anniversary, it is more clear than ever that conservation efforts here will only succeed if they not only protect the wildlife that is found nowhere else on Earth, but also foster peace and economic opportunity for local people. But how do you build a “peace economy” in a place known for conflict, and what will it look like? Recent progress in Virunga’s central sector gives a glimpse of a future where the park can serve as the foundation for inclusive, sustainable development. Learn more in my latest for Re:wild -- the first post in a three-part series spotlighting Virunga. https://lnkd.in/enZYpRmk
