Working for a sustainable future
Securing a safe and healthy environment is understandably a major concern for all New Zealanders. Of course, job security is a major concern too. As more and more forest land in New Zealand is cleared to make way for corporate dairy farms, Kiwi loggers are losing jobs. Extend a hand to logger and their families today.

How this gift works...
Throughout New Zealand huge swathes of forest are being cleared to make way for industrial dairy farms. Dairy conversion of forestry land functions as a ‘double whammy’ on the climate, destroying forests and replacing them with one of the most greenhouse gas intensive forms of land use. New Zealand’s agriculture sector already emits 50 per cent of our greenhouse gas emissions - more than double the emissions of all transport combined. Deforestation releases huge amounts of greenhouse gas – and puts our loggers out of a job. Help keep them employed by stumping up for a logger and you'll be supporting Greenpeace’s campaign to immediately halt forest conversion for intensive dairy and support a more sustainable approach to existing farming methods.
