Environmental groups and well known New Zealanders are preparing to deliver a 55,000 strong petition to the steps of Parliament tomorrow, calling on the Government to protect the world\u2019s smallest dolphin.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow morning, Greenpeace, World Animal Protection New Zealand, renowned zoologist Dr Liz Slooten, and Outrageous Fortunes actor Robyn Malcolm will present an \u201ceye-catching\u201d petition to Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage demanding better protection for the critically endangered M\u0101ui dolphin.<\/p>\n

Greenpeace oceans campaigner, Jessica Desmond, says the Government must give the M\u0101ui dolphin proper protection from net fishing, mining, and oil exploration activities including seismic testing.<\/p>\n

\u201cM\u0101ui and Hector\u2019s dolphins are native to New Zealand, and are the world\u2019s smallest and rarest dolphins. With only around 60 M\u0101ui left on the planet, the race to save them couldn\u2019t be more crucial,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to urgently protect the M\u0101ui\u2019s full habitat, with a ban on set net fishing, seabed mining and oil drilling, and a stop to seismic testing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as the petition, more than 5,000 submissions made by Greenpeace supporters on the Threat Management Plan for Maui and Hector\u2019s dolphins will be handed over.<\/p>\n

When and where:
\nWe’ll be marching at 8.30am from the Department of Conservation at 18\/32 Manners St, to Parliament for a rally on Parliament Lawn starting at 9am<\/p>\n

At parliament there will be speakers including scientist Liz Slooten and actor Robyn Malcolm, followed by a presentation to the Minister at 9:30am<\/p>\n
