I normally only cover North American news affecting outfitters and guides, but this is a really good story. The Otago Daily Times of New Zealand discusses the fight against proposals for hydroelectric dams on New Zealand’s wild rivers. Whitewater NZ, a kayaking group, has joined other groups such as NZ Rafting Association, the NZ Federation of Freshwater Aglers, and the Council of Outdoor Recreation Associations of NZ to oppose damming of the Nevis, the Mokihinui, and other rivers.
