NZ's most prized asset - our environment - is under more pressure than ever. Ahead of the election, we asked @Forest_and_Bird, @GreenpeaceNZ, @EDS_Aotearoa, @WWFNewZealand and @FishandGameNZ what they want to see tackled by our next government nzherald.co.nz/nz/environmen…

Kia ora, Fish & Game New Zealand as an organisation is supportive of both the science and scientists involved in environmental issues. Nobody should have to put up with such unacceptable comments such as those made recently by a southern whitebaiter.

These remarks are not representative of Fish & Game New Zealand as an organisation and we do not accept them or any such references in the future. While the individual in question is a Southland Fish and Game councillor he was not speaking in that capacity.

Voting in local elections is an important way to influence the decisions about the issues that matter to you most. Make your vote for regional council count.

The proposed new water quality standards will set the stage for a new round of dairy innovation. Our latest report finds that it's not a choice between absolutes: dairy farming OR clean water. It's a matter of getting the balance right between the two.

A new report by @NZIER rejects claims the Govt’s freshwater proposals will have a significant economic impact. Despite claim farmers have been ‘thrown under the tractor’, the report finds that in fact they have been thrown a lifeline to embrace sustainable farming.

NZIER says by focusing on profits, not production, farmers can increase their economic returns and reduce their impact on the environment.

Many good farmers have been getting on and improving their practices - the Government’s plan will just ensure all farmers embrace sustainable farming, and that will be good for them, for the environment and for all New Zealanders,
