Will Appelbe

Will is a Freshwater Campaigner at Greenpeace Aotearoa. Will grew up in Timaru and is now based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. He previously worked as a broadcaster before moving into communications and campaigning. He spent six years working on animal welfare campaigns, including live export and greyhound racing, and worked to improve animal welfare enforcement in the dairy industry. Will has seen first-hand the explosion of the dairy herd in Canterbury over the course of his life, as well as the subsequent pollution of lakes and rivers as a result, which motivated him to join Greenpeace Aotearoa where he now leads the freshwater campaign.
