Welcome to Forest & Bird’s weblog. Like Forest & Bird itself, our weblog will touch on just about everything native and New Zealand: our native plants, animals, our wilderness areas and environment, whether they are on land, in our lakes, rivers and oceans.
We welcome your thoughts and ideas about how we can all contribute to helping preserve our precious – and vulnerable – natural heritage.
Standby for opinion pieces, diary-style web-logs, videos of our projects and much, much more. Just watch this space!

Has anyone heard anything for National’s plans for the high country and the tenure review program?
And will the people from Vanuatu come down and help the next generation of New Zealanders clear “old man’s beard” from our smothered forests, because we don’t have the resources or will to do it now for ourselves?
Did anyone else see the Fair Go programme last night highlighting the concern of a Northland buyer of fish and chips? Her particular species favourite was NZ snapper -imagine her disgust when she learned that she had been served frozen Chinese snapper…this in a country boasting of a $4 Billion fishing industry!
More concerning, the owner of the shop said it is common practice for most fish and chip shops to be selling imported
(Chinese,Thai,wherever) frozen fish if the local fresh fish were unavailable…What price the best fish guide ? Buyer beware…trouble is-how do we find out what we are eating ? Is it important?
Well just to follow on from my comment in Feb, I feel vindicated. This is clearly an initiative orchestrated at quite high levels in the new government who has clearly had it in for tenure review for a long time. Unfortunately I feel that F&B inadvertently gave them political cover by their (in my view) short sighted attack on the tenure review process a few years ago. I am glad to see a strong support for the tenure review system from F&B in Kevin Hackwell’s comments in the latest news section.
