For decades, dairy farming has been damaging New Zealand’s environment, and new legislation aiming to protect our rivers and wetlands is coming into action. However, some groups have been wary of these changes, believing it will negatively impact the industry and its economic contributions. In response, a study was commissioned by Forest & Bird, Greenpeace, and Fish and Game to understand the economic impacts of this new freshwater legislation (if any)! To find out more about the legislation and report, Olivia Holdsworth spoke to Forest & Bird’s Annabeth Cohen and began by asking why we even need freshwater legislation in the first place.
Oscar Perress returns to the helm with his imperfect maths to actually put together a full Wire, despite many unfulfiled promises of Minister Hipkins.

When it comes to conservation, new advancements in tools & technology could make the difference in restoring nature, so that indigenous species can thrive.
Just recently, The Department of Conservation announced they are investing nearly eight-hundred-thousand dollars to test a new predator-control drone and take another step towards a predator-free Aotearoa.
Drones are a new technology and have the potential to be a game-changer when it comes to conservation efforts, and the Kiwi startup behind this is Environment Conservation Technologies.
based in the Bay of Plenty, they’re developing automated technologies & providing professional services using drones, both locally & internationally.
Louis got in touch with Samuel Vye, co-founder of the start-up E.C.T., who is also in charge of managing the project.
