living planet – issue 5

When WWF-New Zealand Communications Manager Rosa Argent swam with Hector’s dolphins in Akaroa Harbour, the experience strengthened her resolution to ensure they, and their North Island close relative Maui’s dolphin, survive for the next generation.

The small, sleek body of a Hector’s dolphin darted past me, so close it almost brushed my dry-suit. Through the rolling waves and murky sea of a stormy Akaroa Harbour, two more dolphins fl icked playfully through the water just metres away.

For a joyous half hour encounter, I was part of a small group of paying tourists who got to experience this pod of New Zealand’s endangered Hector’s dolphins on their own terms.

Fast forward several years and I’m recalling this magical experience while scanning the horizon for dolphins from the new Earthrace boat, Sealegs, on a stretch of coast between Manukau Harbour and Port Waikato. But this is no holiday;

I’m working for WWF-New Zealand and am on a media trip to fi nd Maui’s, the North Island sub-species of Hector’s dolphins.

New offi cial research out this year revealed a shocking fi nd: Maui’s are down to just 55 individuals over the age of one. Like their South Island cousin, these exquisite creatures are facing extinction because they are

still drowning in the nylon fi shing nets that were introduced to such deadly effect in the 1970s.

It is this story that we are hoping to share with New Zealanders by gathering some rare footage of the elusive and diminutive dolphins on our trip. Yet after more than eight hours on the choppy waves on a bright but cold May day, we’ve spied a few gannets and gulls but are still no closer to seeing a Maui’s.

Maui’s current range extends from Dargaville down to Hawera in south Taranaki. That’s about 500 kilometers in distance, and they can be found in waters up to 100m deep throughout this entire area. With only about 55 individuals over the age of one, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As we conceded defeat on the waves and crossed back through the notorious Manukau Bar towards dry land, the contrast between this trip and my encounter with the Hector’s dolphins two years ago could not have been greater.

In Akaroa I had been fi ve months pregnant, my unborn daughter part of the experience, and now I am left wondering if she will one day spend a fruitless day searching for Hector’s, long after Maui’s have disappeared forever, in places where we once swum together.

But with WWF and others campaigning tirelessly to save these incredible animals hope remains that in future our dolphins will not just cling on to existence but recover their numbers. A happier scenario is that one day my daughter may even catch a glimpse of a Maui’s rounded dorsal where I did not, as these dolphins once again rule the waves.

field story

In June, world leaders, business leaders and non-government organisations like WWF came together at the Rio+20 Conference. It was a vital chance to agree a clear, concrete agenda for action on some of the world’s most pressing problems.

In the run up to the meeting, we issued a report: Beyond Rio… It looked at the promises our government made at the fi rst Rio Earth Summit in 1992, and at the Johannesburg Earth Summit in 2002. We found that there was little to be proud of. We were concerned that more broken promises could stifl e progress.

But this time, disappointingly, our government, along with most others, pretty much failed to make any promises at all. And so, more than ever, it is up to us to be the change we want to see in the world and then demand our governments follow our lead.

We see this leadership in our members’ response to our appeals and for Maui’s and Hector’s dolphins,

and for the New Zealand sea lion, in the amazing ingenuity of the entrants to the Climate Solutions awards and at conservation events like the International Albatross and Petrel Conference being held in Wellington. And it is there too in Pure Advantage, a group of top Kiwi entrepreneurs showing that sustainable innovation is the surest way to a prosperous future.

We struck one real spark in Rio, joining more than 80 countries, civil society groups, private companies and international organizations in declaring support for the new Global Partnership for Oceans. It aims to provide signifi cant political support and long-term investment in sustainable ocean use. We are committed to making this a success.

Beyond rio: it’s our future noWIn 1992 the Rio Earth Summit brought world leaders and non-government organisations together to develop global responses to our global environmental problems.

In 2002, in Johannesburg, the next summit agreed action plans for these new ideas. But this year’s meeting in Rio ended in disappointment and not much action. We look at New Zealand’s part in these proceedings, and every New Zealander’s role in what happens next.

In the lead up to the latest Rio Earth Summit, WWF produced a comprehensive report charting the promises made by the New Zealand government at each of the previous Summits and how these were followed up at home. It makes challenging reading.

Too often our government has either only partially implemented its own proposals, or failed to implement them at all. It took 14 years for the government to turn words into action on greenhouse gas emissions, and since then its approach has been marked by repeated postponements and retreats. There have been signifi cant declines in almost

all measured water quality parameters over the last 20 years. Legally protected land and ocean areas have increased, but just over half the acutely threatened landscapes suffered a net loss of indigenous vegetation cover between 1996 and 2002. Meanwhile, more than 3,800 terrestrial, freshwater and marine species are now considered threatened and the Maui’s dolphin and New Zealand sea lion are headed for extinction if urgent action is not taken. And education for sustainability is now not being prioritised as it should.

Dr J Morgan Williams, Chair of WWF-New Zealand, and former New Zealand Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, says: “There is little to be proud of. Many of the problems that existed 20 years ago remain, and are often worse. Successive governments have failed to put in place the policies and mechanisms required by our Earth Summit commitments.”

WHat We Have learned? Despite the relatively slow government progress on environmental commitments in New Zealand, and the failure of the latest Rio Earth Summit to

make signifi cant advances, WWF is committed to continuing to work with all governments as a key means to achieve the national and international action that is needed. And we believe the public have a key role to play in giving our governments the mandate they need to make positive progress. But in the meantime, our recent

experience underlines the urgent need for action across our whole community. This is the best way to safeguard our local natural resources and precious habitats, and is also an important way to demonstrate to the government that people care about these issues and are ready to support real solutions for them.

tHe promises We must keep: and some of tHe actions neW Zealand must takeland Biodiversity Promise: Signifi cantly reduce the current rate of biodiversity loss as a fi rst step towards conserving biological diversity.

Action: Extend protection to important habitats not adequately represented in protected areas. Enhance invasive species control.

Water QualityPromise: Preserve aquatic ecosystems, including living resources, and effectively protect them from degradation.

Action: Set pollution limits for lakes and rivers and create policies to ensure the limits are not exceeded, including ensuring that polluters bear the cost of pollution.

marine BiodiversityPromise: Maintain the productivity and biodiversity of important and vulnerable marine and coastal areas and improve scientifi c understanding and assessment of marine and coastal ecosystems.

Action: Expand protected areas and develop a coordinated approach to sustainably managing our marine environment in order for threatened species to recover and once again thrive.

educationPromise: Integrate environmental and development concepts into all educational programmes for all ages and make better use of advertising and entertainment to shape public behaviour and consumption patterns.

Action: Provide support for sustainability teaching in schools, kura and early childhood centres and make sustainability a priority in tertiary education.

fisHeriesPromise: Conserve and sustainably use marine living resources, including maintaining or restoring fi sh stocks to levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield by 2015.

Action: Develop an ‘ecosystem-based approach’ to managing fi sheries that recognises and reduces the impact of fi shing on the wider marine environment rather than just the target fi sh species.

greenHouse gas emissionsPromise: Take the lead, along with other developed nations, in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level to prevent dangerous climate change.

Action: Create a low carbon development plan and implement policies to kick-start the transition to a low carbon economy.

government Half measures fail to save maui’s dolpHinAfter months of delay the New Zealand government’s recently announced interim measures fail to properly protect critically endangered Maui’s dolphins.

Instead, there will only be a minimal increase in protection

off the Taranaki coast south from Pariokariwa Point to Hawera.

This includes extending the set net ban out to two nautical

miles and allowing the use of commercial set nets between

two to seven nautical miles when an observer is on board.

Just 55 Maui’s dolphins over one year of age are estimated to

survive. The government decision leaves Maui’s dolphins still

exposed to commercial and recreational gillnet fi shing and

trawling in key areas of their range, including most harbours,

and the marine corridor between the South and North Islands.

Rebecca Bird, WWF-New Zealand’s Marine Programme

Manager says: “Instead of seizing the opportunity to give

Maui’s the best chance for survival and population recovery,

the government is still allowing fi shing practices that kill

dolphins to go ahead in their habitat. WWF is disappointed

the protection measures will do little to further protect the

critically endangered Maui’s dolphins.”

The Maui’s component of the Hector’s Dolphin Threat

Management Plan is due to be reviewed later this year.

Please join with WWF and concerned New Zealanders

calling for a ban on gillnets throughout Hector’s and

Maui’s entire habitat at www.stoptheirextinction.org.nz

Tackling greenhouse gas emissions will be vital work for coming generations, so it was incredibly heartening to see the wealth of ideas coming through in our inaugural youth award for climate solutions at May’s Green Living Show in Auckland.

The fast-paced one-hour competition gave six young Kiwis the chance to share their big ideas on how to meet one of the toughest challenges facing humanity.

Organiser Lee Barry, WWF-New Zealand Climate Change Campaigner, said: “This diverse range of young Kiwis covered social, environmental and scientific aspects of solving climate change with their ideas. The audience were clearly inspired, it was great to see.”

The audience vote was split when it came to selecting the best idea,

resulting in joint winners: a very

fitting end to an event all about

collaborating on multiple solutions

and win-win situations.

Juliet Arnott’s winning idea was

Rekindle, a scheme for turning

unwanted wood into designer

furniture to reduce waste, climate

emissions and deforestation.

Juliet also proposes to launch a

‘Whole House Reuse’ project in

Christchurch to salvage and reuse

materials from quake-damaged

homes and help rebuild the city.

Healing Waters tHe papaWai stream restoration projectThe Papawai Stream Restoration project is part of WWF’s commitment to help restore local communities, as well as ecosystems.

Papawai Community Trust chairman Peter Rewi says: “Traditionally, the stream was very important to the community. It was a source of food, of medicinal plants. It was a transport route to and from the Ruamahanga river, and a place of recreation, but for the last 50-odd years, you haven’t been able to do any of those things.”

The native forest that surrounded the stream was felled long ago, and the wetland drained. Today, thickets of willows crowd the brown stream, slowing it to a crawl. But the Trust is changing all that. Its aim is to return the stream to its former importance as a place of sustenance and play.

Peter says: “This project ticks all the boxes. There’s the ecological restoration, but it’s also got a strong

cultural emphasis; that gets people

wanting to support the stream.”

Marc Slade, WWF Terrestrial

Conservation Programme

Manager, says: “Work like this

is vital in restoring threatened

lowland habitats. It’s part of a

wider catchment approach, linking

with initiatives to increase water

quality in the Ruamahanga river.”

Greytown Community Council,

South Wairarapa District Council,

and Greater Wellington regional

council have all stepped up to

help, alongside several Wairarapa

schools and Taratahi Agricultural

Training Centre. And, crucially,

the project has the support of

many local landowners.

Peter says: “We’ve had two or

three landowners who have spent

thousands of dollars of their own

money. Without their support,

we couldn’t get anything done.

They let us onto their land, they

let us pull out willows that were

offering shade for stock, and

we’ve effectively stopped their

cattle from getting to the stream

for water. So it’s a big ask.”

There is talk about creating

a public walkway along the

restored sections of the stream,

and long-finned eels are slowly

returning. Although restoring

this traditional kai species to

the stream was an early project

objective, the project is not

encouraging any harvesting

yet, as the numbers need time

to fully recover.

The next big issue on the

agenda is sewage. Wastewater

from Greytown is currently

treated in oxidation ponds

then discharged into rivers and

streams, including Papawai. It’s

a 40-year-old system that doesn’t

just compromise stream health,

but cuts across fundamental

M-aori values around mauri, or life

force, and the sanctity of water.

Peter says: “There’s a much bigger

discussion to be had about how

we deal with sewerage. From a

M-aori point of view, we don’t

want to see any effluent going

to water. Treated or not. We

want to see it irrigated to land.”

The other winner was Ben Dowdle, who has created a high school based campaign called Unmask Palm Oil. This highlights the threat to the rainforest and orangutan habitat posed by unsustainable palm oil production. It demands palm oil labelling on all products in New Zealand, to give people a clear choice about what they buy.

The winners will be rewarded with professional mentoring advice from WWF staff and industry experts to help their vital ideas get ahead.

Other entries ranged from an aerial vehicle to measure carbon emissions, with competition entrant Chris Jack drawing his inspiration for the design from whales and seabirds, to community gardens in Auckland’s unused urban spaces and upcycling waste paper into desirable notepads.

Helping tHe seaBirds soar...Our amazing wanderers are under threat, and WWF needs your help to protect them.

The Antipodean albatross is considered one of the great wandering albatrosses due to its size, with a wingspan of around three metres. They breed on just a few small islands in New Zealand with the largest colony on Antipodes Island.

Many breed only every other year, and they spend the rest of their life at sea soaring right across the southern hemisphere from Australia to Chile. You might not think such a global wanderer would be one of the world’s most vulnerable species.

But it is. Like other albatross species, the Antipodean albatross has experienced a dramatic drop in numbers. Albatrosses follow fi shing vessels looking for food, and are injured and killed in their thousands: caught on longlines and nets.

They can eat or become entangled in fl oating plastic rubbish. Their habitats and breeding grounds are threatened and their young are often preyed on by introduced mammals.

Thanks to your current support, WWF is protecting these majestic, giant wanderers of the sea. We are a founding member of Southern Seabirds Solutions, an innovative alliance between the fi shing industry, government and WWF that works cooperatively to prevent seabirds being injured or killed by fi shing. We are working to ensure ‘smart fi shing’ methods are practiced by the fi shing industry around the world that reduce or eliminate bycatch.

And WWF is also concerned with protecting the offshore islands where seabirds breed to eradicate

harmful pests that destroy seabirds’ habitat and eat their young, and make them safe places for seabirds to breed and thrive once more.

This is why WWF has partnered with the Morgan Foundation to eradicate mice from Antipodes Island – the only mammalian pest on the island – they can eat the eggs and chicks of albatrosses and seabirds, and much of the food that other native species depend on to survive.

But we need your addit ional support to do it – please donate today, and the Morgan Foundation will match dollar for dollar, doubling the value of your donation. By removing mice from the Antipodes Island, you can help our albatrosses soar once more…

and tHe sea lions roar! With an outstanding response from you, our supporters, our campaign to pull New Zealand sea lions back from the brink of extinction is gaining momentum.

New Zealand sea lions are among the rarest of their kind anywhere in the world. But since 1998 the number of pups born in the already-endangered Auckland Island colony has halved. And recent studies suggest that the population could be functionally extinct by 2035 if not properly protected.

The government’s recent proposal to remove the limit on the number of sea lions permitted to be caught in fi shing nets sparked an immediate outcry from WWF, our supporters, and many others across the country. We are now making progress on the scientifi c review to identify all the threats to the sea lions’ future. And we are working with government and industry to make sure they act on the fi ndings.

In May, to move the issue up the political agenda, we presented pledge forms to the Minister for Primary Industries from hundreds of WWF supporters calling for better protection for sea lions.

Thank you. None of this could have happened without your support. Let’s keep up the pressure to ensure our sea lions get the protection they deserve.
