	Maruia Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Maruia Society was an environmental organisation in New Zealand.
		The Society had its origins in the Beech Forest Action Council, then the Native Forest Action Council.
		The Society lost a lot of members during the mid-late 1990s when it came out in support of sustainable milling of West Coast beech—in contrast to the mainstream environmental movement in New Zealand which was advocating for complete protection.

	Submission of the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society to the Buller District Council
		The AEE refers to management plans for the Maruia and Inangahua Forests prepared in August and September 1998 and an Overview Plan prepared in September 1998 for the MAF public submission process.
		The Maruia forests may be a stronghold for the long-tailed bat.
		Much of the forests in the application area, especially in the Maruia valley and parts of the eastern Paparoas and Orikaka are pristine, old growth forest with high ecological values.

	Herpetology - Two species of New Caledonian lizards endemic to maquis shrubland
		Distribution of Lioscincus maruia (squares) and Lioscincus tillieri (circles) in the New Caledonian region.
		In overall morphology Lioscincus tillieri and Lioscincus maruia are very similar in body proportions (long-limbed and long-tailed), habits and habitats (surface active species inhabiting maquis shrubland), and in certain aspects of scalation (keeled body scales), osteology (58 or more postsacral vertebrae), and colouration (yellow flush to the ventral surface).
		Lioscincus maruia is known from fewer locations but these are widely spread over maquis habitat in the central ranges and ranges along the northwest coast, and is expected to be found in other locations within that range.

	MAF RM Update - Readers' Views
		The Maruia Society and MAF clearly differ on the key question of how to achieve sustainable land management.
		The Maruia Society has written to most North Island regional councils asking for performance monitoring information on the success of their voluntary sustainable land management policies.
		The Maruia Society is promoting a move to a legally-enforceable set of sustainable property rights within a reasonable time period, with the on-farm investment costs assisted for the transitional period only, by cost-sharing with the wider community.

		Traditional societies have little interest in markets and profits, these are not part of the local ideologies.
		The Maruia Society of New Zealand is active in the adjacent Isabel Province, and is assisting in drafting national legislation for economic development and resource management using traditional methods.
		Management of the resources and economy of a community must be done for and by that community, within the context of the society that has co-evolved with the land.

	MAF RM Update - Sustainable Land Management Progress Questioned
		The Maruia Society is now questioning the progress New Zealand has made.
		The Society’s view is that New Zealand is complacent, and progress has been inadequate.
		The Chief Executive of the Maruia Society, Guy Salmon, has concluded that it will take about 2000 years to achieve stabilisation of land on the East Coast of the North Island.

		Previously called the Native Forest Action Council (NFAC), the Maruia Society was New Zealand's most active environmental organization during the period from 1975 to 1985.
		By the late 1980s, other environmental groups had become dominant, and shrinking membership forced the Maruia Society to close many of its branches.In the 1990s, Marui's principal activity consisted of lobbying and writing by Salmon, who traveled to the United States in 1989 and returned enthusiastic about "third wave" environmentalism.
		Ironically, the Maruia Society had been named after the Maruia Valley which, thanks to its outstanding beech forests, was where Timberlands planned to begin its beech logging scheme.

		Fifty years after Captain Sanderson's campaign began, and ten years after the Maruia Declaration, the Department of Conservation was established in the Conservation Act of 1987.

		This is a rather new society of New Zealanders that incorporates the Native Forests Action Council and the Environmental Defence Society.
		Many people involved are on a volunteer basis...lawyers, scientists and campaign helpers--but Maruia needs to be able to pay salaries to a few full-time staffers in Nelson and in Auckland, the people who do the actual day- to-day work of research and campaigning.
		The Society has quite a number of overseas members who receive copies of the bi-monthly newsletter 'Bush Telegraph," and also details of their fund-raising appeals and copies of the trading catalog.

		Guy Salmon, Chief Executive of the Maruia Society, stated in 1997 that; "the buildup of possum numbers to high levels is currently damaging both the health and the biodiversity of New Zealand's natural forests...The health of the forests deteriorates, as measured in ongoing losses of biomass of about 4% on average, per decade.

		The Maruia Society, now called the Ecological Foundation, should check its facts before undertaking to destroy New Zealand's clean, green, environmental image, said Food and Fibre Minister John Luxton.
		The Maruia Society would be far better advised to be advertising the huge amount of money that the New Zealand dairy industry spends in eradicating New Zealand's number one environmental pest, the opossum, which could be argued as being taxpayer's environmental responsibility.
		The Society also needs to be very careful that in spreading false information it exposes itself to potential damages claims from industry participants.

		Tax is fundamentally a way for us to share responsibility for the maintenance and development of our society.
		In a very primitive society there would be no taxes because self-survival (and of one’s family group/gene pool) dominates, but in a more advanced society where a degree of altruism exists, tax becomes an important way for us to help others and be helped in return.
		Because taxes drive behaviour, if society can agree on some behaviours to be encouraged and some to be discouraged, we can apply taxes to suit.

		Friends of the Earth argued that it was an appropriate way to reduce the burden on taxpayers, to give park managers the right incentives to collect fees, to improve funding and maintenance of parks and to reduce environmental degradation.
		Such views are very different from the environmental socialism still characteristic of DOC and most New Zealand environmental groups - the Maruia Society being the most notable exception.
