- Environmental Defence Society
-
EDS is a New Zealand based environmental advocacy organisation. It is a New Zealand Incorporated Society operating primarily as a network of professional people who are prepared to assist the Society undertake its work on a voluntary basis, together with a community of people who support the Society financially through their membership. The Society identifies the issues it wishes to pursue. These need to be of at least national scope in their impact, or in their potential to set either precedents or policy. Our main areas for action are: * Landscape Protection * Biodiversity * Climate Change The Society pursues its aims through proactive policy development, advocacy and through involvement in selected planning cases. It sees itself as a 'process guardian' - ensuring that environmental decisions are made properly. Its area of action is primarily New Zealand but it is prepared to act in South Pacific nations on like matters, with local partners. In the planning area we look for opportunities to take and support cases which have the potential to establish precedents in sustainable environmental management. Establishing environmental case law is a route we are prepared to use, where that is the most effective route. However we will usually seek favourable outcomes to planning cases prior to them going to court. EDS much prefers to get involved in cases at the hearing stage rather than at appeal.

EJF employs the latest video equipment and technologies to document both the problems and solutions, working through the media and creating the momentum for effective action.
