Greenpeace says nitrate contamination in Lumsden’s water supply has risen above the level associated with increased preterm birth risk.

Greenpeace says private bore water testing in Ōtautau revealed nitrate levels linked to bowel cancer and preterm birth risks.

The Government is moving to protect Fonterra and major polluters from climate lawsuits just as floods, droughts and climate chaos hammer New Zealand harder than ever.

The Climate Commission says New Zealand faces escalating climate risks. Greenpeace says the oversized dairy herd is helping drive the crisis.

Is your drinking water safe? Free nitrate testing is back in Southland, and the results may surprise you.

While other sectors cut emissions, dairy is going the other way. Fonterra’s footprint is growing — and so is the damage.
