2010 State of the Nation's Environment Address - Alastair Morrison

Conservation Department Director-General Al Morrison has challenged New Zealand to change public policy, alter economic thinking and redefine business practice in order to put the country on a path to truly sustainable prosperity.

Speaking at the 12th Lincoln University State of the Nation’s Environment Address, on the theme “Building Biodiversity: Building New Zealand”, Mr Morrison said New Zealand was “trashing” the environment, degrading ecosystems and destroying species to the point where the “services that nature provides, that we rely on for our sustenance, and that determine our prosperity, are being run down and out.”
