Save Our Rivers - Canterbury
Our local group aims to to protect and safeguard our waterways in the Canterbury Region, for current and future generations.
NZ already has too many cows, yet industrial dairy is still expanding - even to places like the unique drylands of the Mackenzie country. Right now, a wealthy accountant from Dunedin has approval to convert a huge area in the Mackenzie to a massive industrial dairy farm. He plans to put 15,000 cows at the Southern end of the picturesque Lake Pūkaki. We urgently need fewer cows. The new Government must take decisive, effective action and ban new dairy conversions immediately. That’s the only thing that will save the our rivers and save the Mackenzie country.
Will you help us to make sure the Government make the right decision and stop dairy conversions?
