On Saturday 19 September at 1pm, people from across Aotearoa will come together in Auckland to stand up for nature and defend conservation land.

The Government is trying to push through the Conservation Amendment Bill to make it easier to exploit and even sell off public conservation land. From forests and wetlands to rivers, coastlines and mountain ranges, the places that belong to Aotearoa are under threat.

Fifteen years ago, tens of thousands of New Zealanders marched to stop plans to mine the most highly protected conservation land in Aotearoa – and we won. And in 2024, when we last marched for nature over 20,000 people turned up.

Bring your friends, whānau, tramping buddies and community groups. Whether you’re passionate about wildlife, conservation, climate, hunting, fishing, tramping or simply protecting the places that make Aotearoa special, this march is for you.
