NGO Terms and Conditions

NGO - Advocate group for environmental protection of streams and rivers in New Zealand. 

Clearwater NZ

Desired Outcome:
Introduce a national standard that regulates pollution causing practices throughout all New Zealand farms (including both pastoral and agricultural).  This means providing constraints on practices that result in run-off contaminants into near by streams and rivers, regulation and control off those breaching the standard with appropriate consequences and an education scheme to make farmers aware of more environmentally friendly systems.

Also aim for:
  • Funding for research into more innovative practices that will eventually mean no harmful chemicals or hazardous materials are required on farms.
  • Encouraging local involvement to promote awareness
  • Clean up schemes for damage already caused to the environment
  • Safe practices for all animals, plants, and humans that provide a more sustainable farming environment.
