groups in the 'Biosecurity'
category
Eco Action Network Inc.
Eco Action Network (Incorporated) has been working for the enhancement and protection of the natural environment in the Wakatipu area around Queenstown.
Since 1998 we have been doing significant wilding pines control work and have also been involved in re-establishing native flora in the area. We also set up a sub committee,-the Remarkable Wastebusters, to work towards establishing a culture of Waste Minimisation in the QLDC Territory. Give us a call to find out more.

Forest and Bird
F&B
Forest & Bird works to preserve and protect the indigenous flora and fauna and natural features of New Zealand [ Wellington ]
GE FREE NORTHLAND (in Food & Environment)
GE FREE NORTHLAND (in Food & Environment) opposes the use of genetic engineering outside the strict containment of the lab, due to the unpredictable and irreversible nature of the risks to the enviornment and the public health (as well as the risk to our quality primary production, growing organic industry and tourism). The continued trialling of GE crops and animals, when liability has yet to be established and transgenic pollution is a risk, is unacceptable. We also oppose the presence of GE ingredients in the national food supply in New Zealand- these products should be pulled from the market until long term toxicological tests have been done and there is both a nutritional reason for their presence and public demand.

It has been in existence since 1973 and in that time has campaigned for the preservation and restoration of the Ranges through direct action in restoration planting, weed control, through interventions on both planning matters and on public works which threatened the integrity of the area.
The Society's fundamental goals are:
To protect Auckland's western forest arid coastline from degradation and to promote its conservation.
To enhance environmental values and restore disturbed areas to ecological health.
To see the region managed and nurtured by a unified and consistent philosophy of protection.
To provide an unequivocal voice speaking for this area of exceptional natural heritage.
The Ranges are a place of high value, for its ecosystems, for the beauty of its rugged landscape, its ocean and harbour shore and for its native plant and animal life. [ Auckland ]
