We are seeing increased sedimentation and landslides because of human activities and the decisions people make on how they use the whenua. The&nbsp; way land is managed means the effects of extreme weather events such as Hale are much worse. Deforestation for agriculture and industrial plantation forestry creates erosion on hillsides, and results in landslides. The topsoil is lost into the streams and rivers causing sediment pollution further down the catchment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/nz\/cyclone-hale-thousands-of-crayfish-paua-suffocate-in-silty-storm-and-forest-slash-run-off-at-waiapu-river-near-ruatoria\/TLVCU6O3ZFCLRGTYIBNVWVURX4\/\">The sediment has caused the heartbreaking death of kai moana such as paua and crayfish.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/La5S9JKrX24bjY5fykzYPvwX8bW0JwFBMy7Lu-TKOIXuMSUfcy8D72ZkBJJyaoG1XIKtK2wDOhknmRAg6n-0toaix8FR6NkOl8hjIBObe-OgbI4DG7Cpy5Hjg-rLFFvdgiiV9iMnEaBteQYp1fpJqcEZ_Ys8RNTv5Js8_w-Ljg2unKuyfLgRKQ-25qXyjA\" alt=\"Impacts of Cyclone Hale on Tair\u0101whiti - Photo credit: Ben Sarten \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: Ben Sarten \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just the risk of debris and sediment washed off the land, but also toxic materials washed into the waterways.

As for our wh\u0101nau in the South Pacific, the climate crisis is here and now, affecting our daily lives. We\u2019re on the frontline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The Tair\u0101whiti region is mostly rural, and has a majority M\u0101ori population. It\u2019s a special part of Aotearoa famous for being the first place in the world to greet the new year. It\u2019s also on the whole a dispersed, less well-off community facing weather events we have no control over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>For M\u0101ori this is especially challenging.

Cyclone Hale is an example of a new norm that we don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u2605<\/p>\n\n<p>I was honoured recently to become the new Chair of the Board of Greenpeace. At this time it\u2019s especially challenging, and meaningful. To look after each other we need to look after Papat\u016b\u0101nuku, as Papat\u016b\u0101nuku looks after us. Greenpeace here in Aotearoa, and globally, is focused on confronting the causes of the climate and biodiversity crises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Here in Aotearoa we need to urgently transform our agriculture system to protect the climate and restore biodiversity. We need to protect the world\u2019s oceans, and end the production of single use plastics.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace doesn\u2019t have access to huge sums of money, nor political power &#8211; Greenpeace\u2019s power comes when thousands of us from all walks of life come together in challenging times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>I look forward to being part of the Greenpeace movement with you this year &#8211; coming together in action this year on the frontline, online, in the streets, across Aotearoa and around the globe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img
