❌ ⛏️ This is what we have to lose if #BathurstResources proposed open cast #coal mine goes ahead, the destruction of a 40 mil yr old ecosystem that no amount of β€˜rehabilitation’ can replace. Not to mention the 53 million tonnes of emissions. πŸ’¨

A Line in the Sandstone (Denniston Plateau Film) Deep Creek is one of the lesser-known treasures of the Denniston Plateau. Ancient, weather-shaped, and alive with rare ecosystems, this sandstone stronghold remains a place of profound wilderness.

Drone shot of a previous mine site on the Denniston Plateau showing where the land has been disturbed, with man made lakes, a cluster of buildings and tents where people are camping out. A large banner, Protect Denniston Plateau, lies across an old coal pile site.

A group of people sit in a circle having a conversation on a rocky plateau. On the right hand side are three small tents. Behind them is a rocky outcrop and in the distance green bush covered hillside.

Help us raise awareness for this incredible landscape that is under threat from #BathurstResources’ lust for coal and mobilise to defend it!

πŸ’₯ πŸŽ₯ We’re making a film! Recently we teamed up with a group of climbers (with a special set of skills) to get a whole different point of view on #DennistonPlateau.

We’ve completed filming but we need your help to complete the project and get it out to communities across the motu!

Cruising is not a vital mode of transport; people are not using cruise ships to visit whānau or for work purposes or in emergencies. And most #cruiseships are still burning the dirtiest, cheapest fuel available, heavy fuel oil, producing air pollution which directly risks our health.

πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅ 2025 was the hottest year on record in #Aotearoa. We're calling out the #cruiseship industry because they epitomise the #luxuryemissions that have got us into this mess.
