Among the list of organisations that have been invited to apply are organisations associated with projects that would destroy a pristine mountaintop and rip up the seafloor.

It includes organisations that have lost cases in the Environment, High and Supreme Courts, with proposals roundly rejected through prolonged court action.

I have a lot of respect for Forest and Bird, but using highly emotional language like "destroy a pristine mountaintop and rip up the seafloor" and describing this as a "war on nature" make it much more difficult to take them seriously.

It is though. If they go through, it's destroying something we can't get back so someone can make money. Doesn't matter if later governments change their stance, those places will never be the same.
