Beaches Not Highways

Forest & Bird Magazine Summer 2021 Edition is out! In their latest issue Forest & Bird beg the question: do vehicles really belong on beaches where wildlife is present? Our New Zealand sea lion/pakake campaign which is proposing vehicles are restricted on TWO beaches in The Catlins is documented on page 43.

The end of a calendar year is a great time to reflect. Please take a moment to consider the Māori philosophy that humans are part of an interconnected web – humans are not the ‘web.’ In other words, humans needs and wants (such as racing on beaches) should not trump wildlife existence.
