Healthy ecosystems are the heart of a thriving Aotearoa. They absorb carbon, regulate water, and protect our communities.
Our forests, oceans, wetlands, and soils are vital carbon sinks, playing a crucial role in combating climate change. Restoring these ecosystems not only strengthens our environment, but also creates jobs and supports local economies.
Nature is a taonga (treasure) that enhances our wellbeing, improves air quality, and builds resilience in our towns and cities.
Did you know? Protecting forests alone helps prevent disaster losses worth tens of billions of dollars every year.
This World Environment Day, let’s come together to care for Papatūānuku and create a sustainable future for generations to come.
