Join Forest & Bird and 350 Aotearoa for an online briefing on the threat to the West Coast’s Denniston Plateau.
The Denniston Plateau is unique. It is home to threatened species and vegetation communities that do not occur elsewhere. Despite its irreplaceable ecological value, Bathurst Resources is attempting to leverage the Fast-Track Approvals process to pave the way for massive scale coal extraction.
What they’ll cover:
-An overview of Bathurst’s open-cast mining application and the specific ecological values on the line.
-The Fast-Track Process: How the current fast-track legislation operates and a walk-through of the timeline of this application.
-The major environmental concerns: The severe impacts on indigenous biodiversity, freshwater systems, and climate.
-Taking Action: Clear, effective steps you can take right now to object to the proposal and activate your community.
This webinar will be of relevance to you whether you are coming to this issue afresh or have been following it closely for some time.
