More information
Happy Valley is a stunning landscape of rocky pavement, native bush, and fragile wetlands on the West Coast of New Zealand, home to many threatened species including the Great Spotted Kiwi and a large native Patrickensis land snail, and it is under attack from state-owned coal company Solid Energy! Solid Energy's open-cast coal mine — a planned 96 metre deep pit — would completely obliterate this pristine valley, and pollute local rivers with heavy metals and acid mine drainage. We must make a stand now to stop the creation of more coal mines and coal-fired power stations in Aotearoa. We need to stop the burning of fossil fuels before it’s too late.
