Auckland Council has removed more than double the amount of mangroves it was allowed in its resource consent to build a boardwalk in Takapuna, Stuff reports, prompting environmental concerns. Forest and Bird is concerned the excess mangrove removal during the construction may affect the reserve’s intertidal flow and the habitat of the moho pererū (banded rail) – a native wetland bird classified as at risk/declining by the Department of Conservation.
