CONSERVATION WEEK 1984 — WATER MEANS LIFE
The theme for Conservation Week this year is particularly appropriate because of widespread concern for the future of our rivers and disappearing wetlands. The year started well with the Government decision to protect the Motu as a Wild and Scenic River, and the favourable outcome of the Conservation Order application for the South Island’s Ahuriri River. We await decisions on the future of the Rakaia Conservation Order application. Meanwhile Acclimatization Societies will shortly be filing applications for the Mataura River in Southland and the Rangitikei River. Wetland conservation is a key issue for our Society. At the forthcoming June Council meeting approval is to be sought for our final Society wetland policy.
