The theme for ECO 2003 is "Getting Results!" with an emphasis on helping you to develop practical skills and networks to make a difference.

· Gain valuable campaigning skills
· Network with others who are doing similar things to you
· Debate with leading environmental thinkers and campaigners
· Hear from groups about their successes and challenges

The programme will include a mix of dynamic speakers and interactive workshops, covering marine protection, environmental education, the workings of the media, multi-cultural environmental perspectives and having fun. The Aucklanders amongst us are proud to host the conference and there will be an Auckland flavour, including a local tour with an environmental twist.

Fully catered with delicious food (we care about our food!) at the welcoming Awataha Marae on the North Shore, within easy bus and car access of Auckland's centre, you are welcome to stay at the marae during the conference.

ECO - New Zealands environmental network

ECO is a non-profit network of 65 organisations with a concern for conservation and the environment, formed in 1971. Our membership includes large international groups such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, national groups including Federated Mountain Clubs of NZ, and small local groups such as Kapiti Environmental Action.

ECO plays a powerful role in providing support for smaller groups and integration and networking for environmental activists and issues across the country, with an office in Wellington. The annual conference brings together people from throughout New Zealand and the conservation and environment movements.

ECO has been centrally involved in campaigns to protect native forests, lakes and rivers, played a key role in the setting up of New Zealands conservation and environmental structures and legislation and continues to be at the forefront of campaigns for marine protection and environmental management.
