Join EDS to celebrate the launch of their latest book. 

Environmental Defenders: Fighting for our natural world tells the story of how the law has been mobilised to protect some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most precious places. Featuring major environmental battles of the past half century, the book provides an insider’s account of how a small group of lawyers and scientists, under the EDS banner, took on the might of the government and development interests to secure important wins on behalf of the environment.

Written by Raewyn Peart, EDS’s Policy Director, the book contains much material that has not previously seen the light of day. You can pre-purchase a copy of the book when you book your ticket, and books will be available to purchase on the night.

There is no charge to attend but registration is essential. Please secure your place by COB Friday 3 May.
