Others swam out in the Hauraki Gulf with a banner and a kayak to highlight the risk to Rangitoto Island.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-generations-have-fought-for-these-places\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Generations have fought for these places<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public conservation land exists today because century after century, generation after generation people have cared for and protected these places. Communities have repeatedly stood up against the destruction of forests, rivers, mountains and coastlines of the conservation estate..<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Day of Action showed that people across Aotearoa are ready to do that again.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that public pressure is already having an impact. The Government has been forced to walk back some of the most controversial parts of the Conservation Amendment Bill following widespread opposition. But the Bill still threatens to fundamentally change the purpose of conservation law and enable commercial exploitation of public conservation land.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we&#8217;re not stopping here.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-next-stop-the-march-for-nature\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Next stop: the March for Nature<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <strong>Saturday 19 September<\/strong>, people from across Aotearoa will come together again \u2014 this time in Auckland for a massive <strong>March for Nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the Conservation Amendment Bill isn&#8217;t happening in isolation. It is part of a much wider attack on environmental protections, from expanding mining and oil and gas exploration to weakening protections for our rivers, forests, oceans and native wildlife.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is our chance to stand together and say: <strong>enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have a responsibility to care for and protect the wild places of Aotearoa, for the wildlife that depends on them and for the generations that come after us.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Join the March for Nature
