World Trade and Nature
DR
PETER MADDISON
t the time of writing, our President, Dr Gerry cSweeney, is away in Cancun, Mexico, as part of the New Zealand Government delegation to the World Trade Organisation conference. The invitation from the New Zealand Government recognises that trade policy affects and can be important for the protection for nature. Forest and Bird’s policy is to ensure that trade and investment treaties support and do not undermine New Zealand’s ability to protect our unique native plants, animals and natural features. Gerry’s attendance at the WTO Ministerial is an important step towards ensuring that international trade works better for the environment.
