Description

A popular guide for all those dealing with the law and the environment. It has been written in plain English for easy use by non-lawyers, especially students/ town planners, government officials, engineers, landowners, environmental activists and community groups. The book explains the Resource Management Act and how to use it, along with the many other environmental acts including conservation, wildlife and minerals. Other topics include biosecurity, biodiversity, transport, fisheries, forestry, pollution and waste, freshwater and marine conservation, and historic heritage. There are helpful environmental perspectives on the Treaty of Waitangi and Maori interests in the environment. The authors of these essays are all experts with an active involvement in environmental law- as advocates for the environment, academics, practitioners or conservationists. Each chapter includes practical advice on 'how to be involved' to help protect the environment through the processes of the law.
