Handbook of Environmental Law
Forest and Bird’ s new Handbook of Environmental Law is the result of a huge team effort over the past three years. The editor, Rob Harris of Nelson, drew together contributions from 26 authors, who gave their advice for free, to make a book of more than 280,000 words in 608 pages. The book is designed to help lay people and students find their way through the complex of laws and processes for environmental protection. In the foreword, the
national president of Forest and Bird, Dr Gerry McSweeney, describes it as ’a handbook for action to protect our beleaguered environment, our natural and historic heritage.’ As the book was being completed there were major changes in environmental law, calling for many lastminute revisions to the text. The book is now up-to-date to the end of 2003. (For availability of copies at a substantially reduced price to members, see the advertisement on page 45).
