In the Cook Islands, we supported indigenous Ocean Protectors to stand up against the destruction threatened by Deep Sea Mining.
And we closed the year by bringing the #NitrateEmergency affecting rural communities' drinking water to Fonterra's doorstep, by dumping 2 metric tons of slime outside their headquarters minutes before their shareholder meeting.
A bit late to the the top of the year trend, but here is a list of my favourite shenanigans I may have been allegedly involved in during 2025:
We occupied a Palm Kernel processing facility in Taranaki, because there are #tooManyCows in New Zealand's #DirtyDairy

Watch the video!
Greenpeace activists in Auckland set up a 'nitrate emergency quarantine zone' outside of New Zealand’s largest dairy company, Fonterra, on the day of the company's annual investment meeting. They poured 2 metric tonnes of slime around the building in protest of rising pollution of lakes, rivers, and drinking water from the intensive dairy industry.

Three Greenpeace activists have been removed by police after protesting Fonterra’s shareholder meeting.
The activists set up a nitrate contamination tent and dumped two tonnes of simulated “toxic” slime at Fonterra HQ, forcing shareholders to walk through it, mirroring what many New Zealand communities are expected to live with as dairy pollution contaminates rivers and peoples' drinking water.

BREAKING! Fonterra HQ is under quarantine! Toxic slime is oozing out of the building’s main doors.
The building has been identified as ground zero of New Zealand’s nitrate crisis. So the Greenpeace nitrate emergency quarantine unit has shut down the building and installed decontamination tents to prevent the nitrate emergency from spreading further.
